DETROIT — Federal charges were filed against an Illinois man and his son for allegedly selling body parts on the black market from people who thought they were donating to science.

According to WBBM, the pair were charged in Michigan in an investigation of diseased body parts used for research and education.

Federal prosecutors say researchers paid to use cadavers without knowing they had tested positive for infectious diseases.  The pair reportedly kept bodies known to have HIV, sepsis and hepatitis on ice and then selling them, some for up to $100,000.
