Illegal Transplants
Illegal transplants are rife worldwide.
- A group of doctors, lawyers, middlemen and politicians of operating a $35 million racket in the illegal sale of kidneys for transplant in northern India.
- Some impoverished people in Bosnia-Hercegovina have resorted to selling their organs for transplant in a desperate bid to support their families.
- A German was sentenced by a court in Homberg, Germany, to do 100 hours community service for trying to auction one of his kidneys over the internet in violation of German law.
- Three Ukrainian doctors were accused of trafficking in the organs of road accident victims and arrested in Lvov, western Ukraine.
- Murder charges were brought against three Thai doctors and a former hospital administrator accused of deliberately misdiagnosing patients as brain dead to use their organs for illegal transplants.
What makes people want to be involved in illegal transplants? The answer is money.
With the need for organs far outstripping the supply, the price for illegal transplants can run as high at $100,000.
Horror stories abound, like this one of the woman who claimed doctors harvested her organs for illegal transplants and left her husband to die.
