3:00Now PlayingIsraeli military doctors have been training on dead American bodies — and the donors never consented to it.
A new @ajplus investigation found that USC has been selling donated bodies to the US Navy, where Israeli military surgeons use them for training in Los Angeles.
The bodies, sourced largely from UC San Diego, were donated with the intention of advancing medical research. Donors and their families had no idea this could be their fate.
AJ+’s Dena Takruri spoke to Drop Site’s Maysa Mustafa about the investigation, done in collaboration with USC student journalists who broke the story in October.
"They see the connections that what is going on at their university is not so far removed from what is going on in Gaza.”
