Bone transplant recipients are pretty rattled of late. In suits filed this month in New York and New Jersey, plaintiffs charge that bone pieces implanted in them during surgery at Shore Memorial Hospital are of unknown origin -- that they were pilfered from cadavers and sold without the consent of the deceaseds' families -- or that they lack the protective screening required by law, leaving recipients exposed to risk of infection with HIV, hepatitis and syphilis. More litigation is on the way.
