One of the legacies of Margaret Thatcher's government.
Suppose you could call that having a human origin That's the rant ...now I'll go and read the article.

 But the front-page resume looks bad enough, suggesting that animal products were imported from India over a long period of time and that it included human remains |

just read the front page, how gross, on another note, BSE is thought to be the "laughing disesase" from Papua New Guinea. My boyfriend got me a 1960s copy of Time and it documents the tradition of eating the brains of the dead as part of their burial. They had widespread problems with the disease. i was intrigued so looked it up ont he Internet and they now connect the "laughing disease" as a form of BSE.

it will only be a matter of time before some "expert" will come out and claim that the BSE will is an S.Asian disease just like SARS/Bird Flu = China and AIDS = Afirca. Why can't these people spend more time trying to find a cure for it?

It's pretty unnatural feeding herbivors animal products. We stopped eating dead relatives for a very good reason, now why force animals to do it?
