Apparently there is. A man was buying kidneys from vulnerable people from Israel for $10,000 and then selling it for $160,000. What the heck? Yes its true mate. I thought it was only in poor countries but even in Rich countries this is happening. How desperate people can be when we need money. I wish I wouldn't do that. What's your reaction? Opinions?

Well, as long as the donor doesn't die, I can't really say I'm against it. The donors get the money they need, the buyers get the kidneys they need to keep living and doing whatever it is that rich people do... It may be illegal, but does it really hurt anyone?

It does hurt. Would your body function well if one body part is missing? Of course not. Thanks anyways!

They could go to shelters funded by the state my friend. I, as a taxpayer, need to feed them through my taxes which is deducted from my paycheck.
