According Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking
the definition of trafficking of organ human is a crime that occurs in three
broad categories. Firstly, there are cases where traffickers force or deceive
the victims into giving up an organ. Secondly, there are cases where victims formally
or informally agree to sell an organ and are cheated because they are not paid
for the organ or are paid less than the promised price. Thirdly, vulnerable
persons are treated for an ailment, which may or may not exist and thereupon
organs are removed without the victim's knowledge. Trafficking
in organ trade is an organized crime, involving a host of offenders. The
recruiter who identifies the vulnerable person, the transporter, the staff of
the hospital/ clinic and other medical centres, the medical professionals, the
middlemen and contractors, the buyers, the banks where organs are stored are
all involved in the racket.
Thanks to scientific advances and breakthroughs that
have been achieved, today we can see how the organ transplant can save the
lives of many people. However, due to the high demand for organs worldwide,
this advance q achieved science has been overshadowed, as criminal networks
have extended their activities to obtain human organs illegally, through
coercion or payment of money. Often criminals who practice this trade do not
mind living donor. This criminal business is called the "Black
Market".
The human body has become a commodity, a mere object
under the unscrupulous manipulation of people just looking to make money.
Generally, they choose poor people, defenseless children, looking for cash,
selling some of their organs. We often
hear about the case of someone who was deceived or abducted and then appeared
in a tub of ice, with a note suggesting to go to a medical center that had been
removed some organ. We can also see
cases where children disappear and never again know his whereabouts. Remarkably, this organ trafficking is the
product of an illicit trade, well organized through global criminal networks
engaged in poor countries find poor people who consider as an option selling an
organ to survive during a time. The
report in which the ONU says the organ most sought is the kidney, but also
offers the "Black Market": corneas, heart, pancreas, lungs and
livers, and other bodily substances such as blood, plasma or spinal cords.
