TL;DR Summary

The manager of Harvard Medical School's morgue and his wife are accused of stealing human body parts from donated cadavers and selling them as part of a "nationwide network." The couple and five others, including the owner of a bone art shop, are facing charges of conspiracy and transport of stolen goods. The theft and trafficking of human remains is an abhorrent betrayal of the donors who altruistically chose to will their bodies to HMS through the Anatomical Gift Program to advance medical education and research, said Harvard in a statement.
