Well presently a shortage of kidneys in Oz..The waiting list is about 4/5 years for those on transplant list which obviously is a crucial waiting period...
Many patients awaiting transplants are now travelling abroad to foreign countires such as Bangladesh and India where unsanitary conditions put the percentage of health complications to a high risk level...
It has now been suggest to commercialise organs...say those is need of cash can have a kidney removal...Most of us know it exists in some third world countries, often with the victim unsuspecting the removal of an organ until they regain conciousness and then of course they are sold readily on the black market...

I am speechless...next to the local supermarket may be the next organ shop..when you are running out of cash just drop in...

Hi Zarah

heard a couple of years back, that people were being invited back to parties and waking up in ice baths, phone at the side of them and a number written on the mirror for them to phone, turned out they had taken their kidneys and that was in OZ


If a family member wanted one of mine they could have one


but to sell one is not on for gain

I carry a donor card so if anything happens to me they can take what they want (my family know)


I know let's see is the highest bider for a kidneycheering

Hiya Di..
I have witnessed many accounts in poorer countries of people that are abducted and their organs removed to sell on the market..Thye are left to die without medical intervention and many infact do..
Yes organ donation benefits those awaiting transplants and I agree..commercialising organs will only put pressure on lower income families...Our blood is donated free of charge here..I am aware in some countries people are paid for the priviledge..

I'm all for harvesting organs.... from convicted criminals sentenced to death.

Afterall, they willingly ended/took anothers life, whatever part of their body/mind that can prolong or save someones life should be enthusiastically endorsed and sponsored. The convenient thing is the medical society would have time to prepare and harvest correctly.


headlines read... on this day at 12:01am six lives where saved by a convicted murderer.
