Organs for sale
The marketing of human organs is condemned in most places, but continues to grow as rich Western patients cannot obtain the needed organs through donation in their own countries. Poor people in third world countries are prepared to sell an organ in order to obtain cash that is equivalent to several years' wages.
let's consider it.
Arround the world million of people have exercised their right to give away their organs by signing organ donation cards. But very few made the legal arrangements necessary to ensure that their organs can be harvested after death. Many more would make such arrangements if their families were to be paid for the donated organs. It could work as a type of life insurance and would create a mutually advantageous situation: the deceased's family gets needed money while the transplant patient gets a vital organ.
A few people, on the other hand, may choose to sell an organ during their lifetime. This may seem like a radical idea, but it need not be an irrational one. Pakistan is one of the few countries in the world where the organ trade is not illegal although it is a controversial subject, not willingly talked about.

He believes he can wait no longer and finds a donor through the internet. Paying several thousand dollars, he risks the hazards of such an operation in a foreign land, from doctors he has never met.
