is this for real??corpse selling

i came across a website on the net...DAVEMARCUS.COM
some pretty crazy stuff...all about corpse selling to universitys in colombia..barranquilla.it says that homeless people were prayed on to provide fresh cadavers for research...apparently there is a book out about it.
can anyone verify this ...or is it a crock b.s.. supposedly this took place in 1992.

Urabn legend that kidney thing is an urban legend. One of those things you hear from a family member who heard it from a friend who heard it from a neighboor... As for the corpse thing, I know they used to do that stuff way back in the day in Europe for medical research, Universitys would pay for the cadavers so you can imagine the supply and demand... creepy

this artical according to the website .. was in the dallas morning news 03/22/92....type in davemarcus barranquilla in your search engine and its likley to come up if anyone is interested...says homeless and petty crimals were prayed on.
(if its true it would,nt do much for tourism)....but it would never keep me away...my wife is from BQ and we visit there a lot along with manny other places in colombia...its like anywhere else...use your brain and common sense.
