" Prosecutors in New York charged the head of a biomedical tissue company and three others with illegally harvesting body parts from corpses and selling the tissues at high profit for transplant operations all across the United States and Canada.

It was revealed in December that among bodies that had been illicitly plundered by the ring was that of Alistair Cooke, the long-time broadcaster of the BBC radio programme, Letter From America. He died in 2004.

The case was "like something out of a cheap horror movie," the Brooklyn District Attorney, Charles Hynes, said. Prosecutors allege bones, tendons, skin, heart valves and other tissues were harvested without permission from 1,077 cadavers from four funeral homes in three states...

Unbeknown to his family, the body of Mr Cooke had both leg bones removed. By way of disguising the theft, PVC pipes were put in their place. The bones were sold to two legitimate transplant companies for $7,000 (£3m500). The ring also changed his death certificate to say he died at the age of 85."

In 2019, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) and Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson) are best friends in a repressive and intriguing society, where everybody expects to win the lottery.

The prize is to move to a paradisiacal island outside the domes that protect the dwellers against the contaminated environment.



Jordan wins the lottery, and Lincoln accidentally finds the scary truth behind the utopist award: they are clones, generated to provide replacement organs and parts to the owners of insurance policy.

That is beyond macabre. Alastair Cooke, as brilliant and well-preserved as he was, was ninety-five years old when he died. Surely even his fine brain was beyond recycling by that time. The perpetrators need to be confined and fed nothing but chicken contaminated with H5N1 virus. That'll teach them to mess with people dead who were better than they are alive.
