How would you react to this package? What would you do?
Human liver, partial head mistakenly delivered to home
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Michigan (AP) — Two packages containing human body parts — including a liver and a partial head — that were intended for a lab were delivered to a home instead, and officials say more than two dozen similar packages could be dispersed across the United States.
The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off at Franck and Ludivine Larmande's home by a DHL driver who thought the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.
"My husband started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a liver,'" Ludivine Larmande told The Grand Rapids Press. "He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear."
"There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health," Parent said.
Two other packages headed to the lab broke open, scattering their contents.

I think it is a Health Hazzard as you do not know who they are from and where they have come from, so how do they not know if they are infected or anything like that so to me it is a Health Hazzard and do they not know that shock can kill People.

Goodness... it would be a very *ahem* interesting *ahem* experience to receive such a package.
I think I would report to the police right away and leave this in the hands of professionals. That is assuming, of course, that I am not expecting this package in any way. :P

I don't know if I'd ever get over receiving that in the mail to be honest it would certainly be a shock. It sounds like something that would happen in the Soprano's or something, why were they mailing human body parts anyway? The mind boggles it really does.

Yikes!! I think I would simply faint or become hysterical! If I received body parts in the mail I would think someone was trying to give me a heart attack or some serial killer is stalking me and sent me these to tell me I'm next...LOL Trust my imagination to cook up such stuff..hehe! Well I sure wouldn't want such packages. I probably wouldn't open packages not addressed to me or packages I wasn't expecting.

I heard about that in the news yesterday and I think it's disgusting. I would probably puke my guts out and then faint. I heard that there are over 50 other packages scattered throughout the world and could end up anywhere. That would be pretty scary to find a head on my porch.

If that happened to me I would be in shock, I wouldn't even understand what would be going on inside my head.
I guess the lesson here is not to open packages that are not for us.

Opening a package like that would make all my neighbors come barging at the door if they heard how loud I can scream. Definitely I would scream due to fright. In my native country, body parts are sacred and they only belong in the cemetery. It is bad luck to touch something like that or the owner of the body parts will come to haunt you (blame it on being raised with millions of supertitious beliefs..lol).
But if am not expecting a package from anyone especially the sender is from China, I would refuse the delivery. But we are humans after all, curiosity gets the better of us. But hopefully, I will never receive any mail of that kind in my lifetime.

A partial head and liver. How strange. I don't know what I would do. I would probably think it was a joke at first and then when I realized it was a real liver and a real head I would freak out. My husband would probably pass out.I wonder if the mistake was on the part of china or dhs either way this is one wrong
delivery that should never have happened. I imagine someone could lose their job over this.

EEEwwwww!!!!! Sounds like something from a horror movie. I'd definitely be shocked out of my wits. Then I'd track down the delivery person of DHL or whatever company. From the local office to the international office. I wont stop until I find out why that package landed in my address.
