Kidney Beans - Trading Live Organs For Cash
I almost titled this post as "Make Money From Live Organs". Anyway, you probably have heard of stories where people have their kidney removed without their permission or knowledge. Those organs forcibly removed from a living donor will circulates in the black market. Then there are cases whereby organs are removed from victims who died in a war conflict zones. And now there are reports that exposed the brisk business in trading live organs between willing buyers (recipients) and wiling sellers (donors). A willing donor donated a kidney and received cash compensation.
There could also be cases whereby organs were removed from dead soldiers or militants who died in fresh combat. Read Organ harvesting by Israeli soldiers
Back to the trading live organs for a quick cash. Basically, one can only trade his or her own spare organs to willing buyers if the organ and blood type are compatible with the new recipient. Most of these willing donors are of low income bracket and came from China, India, Pakistan, Phillipines and developing countries from Latin America. The idea was the people were calling out of despair, out of urgent need who needed a quick way to make money but give away their spare organs.
In the United States, trading live organs for cash violated a 1994 U.S. federal law that forbids the selling or purchase of live organs for cash.
A story of a donor who says he got thousands for his kidney
Nick Rosen says he got $20,000 to donate his kidney and lied to the hospital's transplant team. Rosen's story is one of several that have come to light in recent weeks as part of a worldwide CNN investigation into what appears to be a widespread black market in human organs currently under scrutiny by authorities in the United States and Israel. Nick Rosen not only got his money, but made an 11-minute documentary film he called "Kidney Beans" to show how easy it was to sell an organ. A portion of the documentary shows him lying on a bed, covered in cash he says he was paid.
