I've just skimmed a bit through my friend's copy of the Index Astartes and failed to find an answer to this. Given the extreme unlikelyhood of actually slaying a Space Marine in actual fluff, having access to his body, and having the knowledge necessary to perform such a procedure or the knowledge of what actually makes a marine tick, would it be possible to salvage the enhanced organs from a dead/dying space marine? I humbly contend that it would be epically badass for the leader of a traitor faction to have a salvaged omophagea (brain eater!). Also, if a Blood Angel, whilst in a blood rage, eats the brain of a chaos marine, or that of a traitor aligned with chaos, could he become tainted by the memories and feelings absorbed? (I asked with a Blood Angel example because a marine knows in his right mind would know not to eat flesh of the tainted. Blood rage gives a good excuse.)
