Human Body Tissue

The human body tissues industry consists of the harvesting of human body tissue, the manufacture of tissues products and the distribution of both. Human body tissue is used in several medical procedures, including bone and skin grafts, dental implants and organ transplants. The tissue used in these procedures is collected by tissue banks from universities, morgues, funeral homes and hospitals. The human tissue industry is highly unregulated in the United States, which has led to the transfer of disease to patients receiving tissue grafts. In February 2006 the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered Biomedical Tissue Services, Ltd., a tissue collection and distribution company, to cease distributing tissue products as a result of medical and ethical violations uncovered by an extensive investigation.
