From Times Wire Reports

A jury in Fort Myers, Fla., ordered the University of Miami to pay a Haitian couple $300,000 for harvesting their 7-year-old son’s organs after a car accident. The parents said they did not consent to Frency Vernet’s heart and other organs being taken at Naples Community Hospital after he died of brain injuries in a 1990 crash. “Frency lives in other people,” the boy’s father, Emmanuel Vernet, testified. “In Haiti, we call that a zombie.”
