Organ trafficking

One aspect of human trafficking is organ trafficking. This is where the organs and kidneys of people are taken from their bodies and sold to other people. It is common for poor people to want to sell their organs for money. The people who buy organs are patients who are waiting for a transplant. Because there are so many people in need, rich people are able to skip their place in line and buy a kidney on the black market.

A Chinese boy sold his kidney in 2011 to make money. The boy sold his kidney for $3000. He then used his money to buy an iPad 2 in China. He did not tell his parents about his operation.

Later on, maybe next week or so, we will talk about the issue of prostitution on the black market.
