Buying Organs on the Black Market | The Business of Crime

The Black Market Organ Harvesting is a rampant trade in human organs, involving collusion between organised criminals and corrupt doctors, police and medical administration staff. We dive into the body trade and see the ways it operates and the risks involved for the desperate people at both ends of the deal, in what is an unregulated and often perilous market.
In The Business of Crime, VICE World News looks at different parts of the criminal economy, separating fact from myth. In this episode, we find out the reality of the black market body trade.

I live in California and I am friends with a nun who helps children living in an orphanage in Mexico. A 7 year old boy went missing recently (he would have been 8 at the end of the month) and they just found his body a few days ago with his organs missing. That’s why I’m here watching this video. I saw his picture, his name was Kevin and I can’t stop thinking about him and I don’t know who would do such a thing. Better to die than to have someone be killed for you.

If it were legal, people could still be exploited. People would blackmail or coerce someone into doing it. So although it’s more ‘regulated’, it normalises organ trading.

[@PartyCrapper]

But atleast it would then be closer to a choice. I don’t think the players in this market want this to become legal. If organ trade was legal, this would ensue a market price and avenues. It would mean more education to the public. And then, even if someone is desperate enough to do this, atleast they get a right price. Atleast they can use this to make their lives better. They may regret it later and they may have to face consequences but it would take all these nefarious middlemen out right

It really depends on the person and the community as to what most likely happened to them. I'm not saying that you're wrong I'm just saying to say that this happens whenever somebody goes missing every time is incorrect but it does happen. Just not wanting to deal in absolutes like this when there are a lot of variables and a lot of different outcomes that are possible. Some people "go missing" and just ran away to start their life over somewhere else, as I've seen happen before in my life, and they just hated the life they were living so they left without saying a word. You're not wrong, this does happen, but it is among one of the several possible situations someone who has gone missing can be in and not an every time thing.

These doctors nurses and criminal enterprisers deserve to become living donors until the moment that the death penalty is carried out and the recipients need denial of medical help and revocation of citizenship to country of origin so money will be their only scapegoat.

[@Edith.G.G.]

Yes you are correct, and the only way to end this hell is to end the market there is no other way. as long as there are buyers there will always be someone willing to sell, legal or illegally. In addition to raising awareness, we must commit to never, under any circumstances, purchasing anything that involves the suffering of others. The day no one pays for organs, sex, drugs, cheap clothes, exotic animals, exotic plants, fine woods, etc. That day the traffic and the demonic mafias will end.

[@Katie-mw7pd]

Yes, as awful as this is, I am thankful we’re finally getting video evidence of it; this has been largely ignored by the media and painted as a conspiracy theory. It’s been tied in with the likes of Qanon theories and that “Jewish space lasers” bullshit. This is the perfect time for China to cover something like this up, because it can so easily be called “fake news.” Now we have evidence.

[@thaBootyologist]

Well it’s known that “they” put it out directly in our faces. Just like with Event 201 back in 2017-2018. It was stated it was study/simulation to see how the world would react if a pandemic hit. Look what happened at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 up until now. We are in the plandemic…

What about transplant rejection? I thought it is a long process to pick a proper donor, make all tests to reduce rejection probability. You can't just put random kidney to someone. Is there any stories about failed transplantations from acceptors relatives, who bought such transplants or they all keeps silence or all operations successful?

[@leima8375]

Dude they literally DONT care! They will throw in a kidney or organ and if it starts rejecting the organ they’ll just try to get u out of there asap so when it fails they are gone. Remember.. they aren’t following the rules. They kidnap people for their organs.. u really think they care about the patients? They would look at the patients with dollar signs in their eyes.

@@B.V.Luminous first answer is yes. Second is no. With that logic, you must be against all donor organs, or you just cringe at the fact if being part pig.
