of what we want to happen to our bodies.

Personally, I want my ashes to be scattered over the pool

of a Trump hotel, out of respect.

But for many people in Arizona, the afterlife is very different

than what they expected.

Ronny Chieng has more, as part of our new series,

The United Swing States of America.

If you're gonna talk about Arizona,

you have to talk about old people,

because they're everywhere here!

See?

(clears throat) Which brings me to death.

Not... no, not yours.

Obviously, you still have a long road ahead of you.

And here in Arizona, people thinking about the afterlife

are choosing something new: whole body donation.

More and more people are choosing to forego,

uh, traditional burial and just donate their bodies to science.

There was a 20% increase in the number of people

donating their body right here in Arizona.

That's about 47,000 people.

CHIENG: To investigate, I hit up a popular spot

for the old folks to see if body donation

really was all the rage.

What do you want to happen to your body after you die?

I'd consider whole body donation.

Have you considered whole body donation?

Yes. I have it already set up.

So, you seem pretty old and close to death.

What do you want to happen to you after you die?

I'm gonna be donating it to science.

What made you... think of doing that?

Um, I have no living relatives.

Who's gonna bury me?

Any friends?

Uh, yeah, they don't care about my body.

Well, maybe they should care.

Because when I turned on the news,

I discovered this.

Scandal involving a body donation business in Phoenix.

The owner accused of selling bodies and body parts.

TV REPORTER: Essentially running a chop shop

for human body parts.

CHIENG: A human chop shop?

These were people, not cars you strip down for parts.

I turned to a team of lawyers trying to end this horror.

So what the (bleep) is happening in Arizona?

People are getting people to donate their bodies,

and telling them that they're gonna treat the bodies

with dignity and respect.

And they were sold off

like you would sell off the parts of a cow.

And then, ultimately, the FBI raided

this organization here in Arizona.

So what did the FBI find?

There were, um, coolers and freezers

of disarticulated body parts.

You know, a cooler of, um, arms, a cooler of legs.

They found heads.

They found the torso of a large human male

with the head of a small female sewn on the top...

All right, okay. We get it.

Enough already. Jesus.

Anyone here have a puppy I can pet

for ten seconds just to clear my head?

And-And they found a giant, uh, bag of penises.

They found a bag of dicks?

Yes. It was referred to as,

"a large bag of male genitalia."

-So it was a large bag of dicks. -Yes.

I'm-I'm scared to even ask,

but what were they gonna do with this large bag of dicks?

Well, we really can only speculate.

We know that some of it may have gone

to the black market in Southeast Asia

for something like penis wine.

Okay, I'm from Southeast Asia.

I've never heard of penis wine.

-What is it? -I-I think it's wine

that has a penis in it

that's supposed to make people more virile.

That is disgusting.

I thought so.

Is it red or white?

I didn't even get close enough to it to even...

What kind of flavor profile is this?

-Is it nutty? -I didn't taste it.

-Does it have notes of foreskin? -I, I...

Can we move on? This-This is a serious case.

Oh, yeah, that's right, Holly.

We're just gonna mention penis wine and not talk about it.

Well, this case is about the harm

that was done to people and families,

not about penis wine.

CHIENG: She's right.

People thought they were donating their bodies

for research to find cures for diseases.

But instead it was real-life

Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

How are they gonna fix this?

We need regulations.

Licenses, for example.

You don't need a license to deal with dead bodies?

-Correct. -You need a license to do nails.

You need a license to fish.

You need a license to drive a forklift.

Pay your money, fill out a form,

and you're a medial director.

That has to change.

This is (bleep) horrific.

This is not just an Arizona problem.

It's a nationwide problem.

And if you think it's not happening in your backyard,

-you're mistaken. -Okay, sorry.

Can we just go back to the penis wine for a second?

Do they stomp on dicks the way they stomp on grapes?

Are they squeezing out the penis

or are they just fermenting it?

I don't know.

And I'm really not sure I want to know.

CHIENG: No one should have their dead body violated

or their genitals turned into a tasty beverage.

If people are gonna donate,

they should at least know exactly

what they're getting themselves into.

They need to know the truth.

Until Arizona puts regulations in place,

all we can do is offer competing services.

Introducing, Giveronnyyourbody.com.

Just give me your body, and we'll take care of the rest.

ANNOUNCER: With us, you'll know exactly what you're getting.

You turn into a human ventriloquist dummy.

You're used for Weekend at Bernie's sequels.

Literal body pillow.

Seat filler at the Oscars.

ANNOUNCER: Those are just some of the many things we can do.

Sound horrifying? You betcha.

But it's also perfectly legal until Arizona changes its laws.

ANNOUNCER: Giveronnyyourbody.com.

Give me your body.

I want your body.

ANNOUNCER: Ronny Chieng is unlicensed

and has no experience in this field

which is not a problem in the state of Arizona.

and do your research or donate to medical centers.

(cheers and applause)

Ronny Chieng, everybody.

And, uh, here's some good news:

Those lawyers just won the case

and got awarded $58 million for all of the victims.

-Which means, -(cheers and applause)

Ronny Chieng, you're rich.
