This article is about a man convicted of kidney-trafficking. Organ-trafficking is illegally jumping the transplant waiting list by transferring organs from donors to patients for large sums of money. The process is illegal because there is a high chance that the organ is diseased. However the man in the story did not run a business, but was sought out by the recipients of the organs. In addition the patients were able to fully recover and lead healthy lives.
In an age where people are able to survive after their kidneys fail, should the rich be able to pay their way to survival by jumping transplant wait lists when they need an organ donated? If organ-traffickers can aid people, should it be legal?
