Last week some Peruvian gang members were busted for smuggling human fat. Apparently the people involved have been murdering folks, stealing their body fat, and selling it to some undisclosed European companies for as much as $15,000 for a quart. Nasty. It’s no surprised that the gang involved is also facing weapons and drug charges. What is surprising though, is that there are companies that actually purchase human fat from Peruvian fat smugglers. Experts say the uses for human fat are few and far between. It might be used as a component in some cosmetics or in cosmetic surgery. However, doctors say that using human fat in any type of surgery is highly uncommon. We have all heard the stories about human skin being used for lamp shades during the Holocaust. Using people parts for anything other than transplants just seems archaic and heinous. Truth be told, it’s not such an outdated practice, and those who engage the harvest and exchange of people parts for cash are actually making some big bucks for the deeds. It’s a rough world we live in when people are killed for their parts. It makes for a rougher world when you think about the people who actually pay for people parts. There are folk out there who will pay to have kidneys reaped and fat removed for their own personal use. What if we are actually purchasing goods manufactured with people’s parts as components? Are humans naturally this barbaric, or has society created monsters like the Peruvian fat smugglers?
