TikTok user sells human bones, ignites ethical debate online
ABC News
A 21-year-old TikToker is selling human bones -- including spines and fetus skulls.
Jon-Pichaya Ferry, known on TikTok as JonsBones, sells every bone in the human body -- including spines and fetus skulls.
Ferry lives in New York City, where he operates his online business. He said his clientele ranges from “chiropractors to universities to artists.” He said he also sells to search and rescue teams who are training dogs to find missing people.
On his website, you can buy ribs for as little as $18 and skulls for about $2,000.
The 21-year-old told ABC News' daily news podcast "Start Here" the bones come from “medical sources that were used for medical education.” He does receive bones “from individuals that no longer want them,” such as someone who inherited the bones of a deceased family member, but he said research organizations, museums and universities are his main suppliers.
