A sketchy New Jersey organ procurement company — already under federal investigation — is being sued by a New Jersey family. The New Jersey Sharing Network is being accused by the Corsini family of pressuring them to donate their loved one's body, tissues, and organs without letting them know that he would be unrecognizable at his funeral. Jessica Corsini, of Roseland, says she was shocked to see her 41-year-old brother, Rosario, in a casket after his body parts were donated to the NJ Sharing Network. ‘“When I saw my brother, the first thing I said is, 'That is not my brother,' she said. ‘He looked like an 80-year-old man.’” Corsini says she got a midnight call from the NJ Sharing Network just hours after her brother died in June from a condition linked to albinism. She said she felt pressured into consenting to donation, and alleges the NJSN didn't tell her the donations would radically alter the appearance of his body. Corsini says NJ Sharing Network personnel even told her to handle her brother carefully afterwards because his bones were missing and that they had taken all of the skin from his back. Her attorney also claims NJSN never told the family the donation was not charitable: "What they didn't tell her is that the New Jersey Sharing Network would harvest body parts, and in this case, bones, heart valves, corneas and skin," attorney Bruce Nagel said. "These body parts, based upon medical records that we have reviewed, ended up both in cosmetic use and sale on the international market." In 2025, the US House Ways and Means Committee announced an investigation of the NJ Sharing Network for fraud, cover-ups and illegal practices: unfairly pressuring families during their time of grief, proceeding with organ recovery from a patient showing signs of life, and a mass discard of 100 pancreases harvested for “research” when notified of the Congressional investigation.
