Filipino kidneys for sale

February 26, 2008

Selling of body organs is against the law but this practice is thriving in the country. Why? Humans need to survive. Persons suffering from end-stage renal diseases need a kidney transplant to become healthy again. The lack of access to renal care and the high cost of dialysis increase the demand for kidney donors. On the other hand, the starving poor need money to buy food, clothing and other basic commodities. (UPI Asia)
