WHAT HEELS!: Taking An Arm And A Leg


Henry Reid, 57, former director of the cadaver donor program at the University of California, Los Angeles, allegedly sold hundreds of human body parts that had been donated for medical research to Ernest Nelson, 49, from May 1999 to February 2004. Both men were arrested and charged with conspiracy and grand theft. Prosecutors say Henry Reid (not to be confused with the cadaverous-looking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid), pocketed $43,000, while Nelson made a cool million dollars reselling the parts to 20 medical, pharmaceutical and hospital research companies.
