Parents outraged by organ sales of 32 Irish hospitals

[dArKeR]

The Irish government is facing a public outcry over its health service after the country's largest hospital admitted it sold glands from dead children without par-ental consent.

St James' Hospital in Dublin was the 21st Irish hospital to confirm revelations by drug companies Novo Nordisk and Pharmacia that 32 Irish hospitals routinely supplied them with pituitary glands, used to produce growth hormones, until 1986.

The row appeared to be the tip of the iceberg as hundreds of distressed parents across the country discovered that other organs were removed from their babies and children without their consent.

1. SHUT UP! as Bill OLiely would say.

It is far more humane than Swift's suggestion for Irish children.
