Kidney Trafficking – Bought from the Donors and Procedures are Happening Here in the US

This is amazing, they are looking for both donors and patients overseas and then bringing them here to the US to have the surgery done. We may complain here and there about cleanliness, but after reading and seeing this report about the one in China, our hospitals must fair very well by comparison. The video shows the broker discussing it with CNN and gee, everything is just so matter of fact, almost scary. BD

In April, Nagauker cut a deal with a kidney broker, who promised him a new life and a new kidney for $100,000. It was available only in China, the donor said. "The broker went to him and suggested that he become a new man. 'Come with me. Two days, $100,000, and two days you will be a new man,' " Shai said.

Nagauker's body is rejecting the new kidney.Today, Shai calls the broker "the killer."

Nagauker went to China, where his daughter said he was taken to a rural hospital and given the kidney of an 18-year-old Chinese girl. Shai captured images on her cell phone of her father in what she described as a filthy hospital. The surgery went poorly, and the girl who donated the kidney died shortly after surgery, Shai said.
