Transplants can involve any part of the body. Common transplants involve tissue, bone/bone marrow, tendons, organs, and even corneas. These transplants are taken from a deceased or sometimes a live donor then implanted into a needy recipient. Transplants require the written approval from the family or prior approval from the donor. Transplants also require a medical history review, physical assessment, and disease screening test to meet FDA donor requirements.

It is alleged that bodily tissue may have been taken without proper authorization and without donor screening. Tissue processors in New Jersey, Georgia, Texas, and Florida received tissue from Biomedical Tissue Services. The potentially diseased tissue may have been used for bone marrow transplants, bone transplants, heart valve transplants, or skin grafts in 2004 and 2005. Tissue transplants side effects may include communicable and infectious diseases and misrepresentation of the donor's age and health status.

Tissue transplantation is similar to organ transplantation, but the tissue transplants industry is regulated much more loosely. While organ donors are only identified by doctors in hospitals, tissue donations may come from funeral homes or morgues. Although the companies that test and sterilize tissue must be registered with the FDA, they are not subject to any regular inspections or audits, but are only inspected when the FDA decides there has been a risk associated with the tissue bank.

This is not the first case of transplanted organs, bones, or tissue obtained without the donor's permission and without proper screening. The demand for transplants is great and those involved will often take illegal measures to deliver the parts for a high price. These reckless actions pose serious health threats to the transplants' recipient and emotional trauma to the deceased donor's loved ones.
