Talk about paranoia. . .
My nephew recently has knee surgery. They took a tendon from the back of his leg and put it where he had had a damaged one (ACL surgery I think).
Anyway, I understand they sometimes choose to use a tendon from a cadaver instead of one from your own body. When I informed my nephew of this, he said he wouldn't want to take the chance of getting one from Saddam Hussein.
