Tissue donors'families are the only ones who receive no compensation. Everyone else in the long chain from tissue removal to implant surgery gets a cut.
The ethics of the industry are not clear. Recipients are not always aware that they receive human tissue so they cannot give informed consent, which is one of the key rights of patients. And the tissues are removed from cadavers which have not always been screened for communicable diseases.
You have to wonder if some people, maybe even children, aren't killed on purpose to sell their tissues even though it's illegal to pay the donor, at least in the West.
Wherever there's money to be made, you can be certain that corners are cut to maximize profits. When the business is about human tissues, you can expect horror stories.
The spokesman of the CDC doesn't say it clearly but we are left to think that if only humans had a RFID implanted, traceability of tissues would be optimal. But that wouldn't solve the issue of ethics.

@capner It's a fig leaf to make the business appear ethical, to make us think the bad guys could only be the dead's kin, thereby discourage murdering your folks to sell their body parts.

They really butcher the bodies because everything is worth a fortune, even the last square inch of skin. The skinning machine is an abomination. What kind of people does this for a living?
Would you take the job if it was offered to you and you'd been unemployed for a long time?

I am currently in the trade of human tissue.
I have traded my own human tissue, and my sidewalk seems to always be ready to give me lots of pain in return. Fair trade i suppose.
Occasionally I will trade human tissue with tent stakes and the periodic cheese grater, but my go to trading partner in human tissue will forever be pavement.
