Kidney trafficking

A gang of organ traffickers was found in Bangladesh in August 2011 by police. The criminals were buying organs from poor people and selling them to rich people. The BBC said that it is legal for people to give their kidneys to a family member, but you cannot sell it to another person for money.

Even though it is illegal, many people use organ trafficking to get kidneys for themselves or their family members. One reason why organ trafficking is so popular is because the time to get a kidney from a hospital takes so long. It is much quicker to buy one on the black market. That is why people who are rich and don't want to wait will rather use a kidney from the black market then wait on a list.

I hope that somehow this problems gets fixed.
