Sham S. Misri
One day a dispute arose among various parts of the body, each organ saying to the other "I am more useful than you." The brain said, "I am the master of the body," the heart said, "I am equally important." Turn by turn every organ pleaded their case. Then, one day all the organs of the body sat together and discussed,
It occurred to the Members of the Body that they were doing all the work and the Belly was having all the food. So they held a meeting, and after a long discussion, decided to strike work till the Belly consented to take its proper share of the work. So for a day or two, the Hands refused to take the food, the Mouth refused to receive it, and the Teeth had no work to do. But after a day or two the Members began to find that they themselves were not in a very active condition: the Hands could hardly move, and the Mouth was all parched and dry, while the Legs were unable to support the rest. So they found that even the Belly in its dull quiet way was doing the most important and necessary work for the Body, and that all must work together or the Body will go to pieces and die. Even after death the human body has long had commercial Value. Body snatching for medical research became a lucrative business in the 18th century. Historians describe how in the grave robbing era, “Corpses were prized for use of human body organs and tissue."
