The illegal trade in human body parts is nothing new. Generally in Australia, most medical practioners, the Red Cross, patients and even potential donors find the practice repugnant and so, people like the 16 recipients mentioned in the article go to America for these proceedures.

20 years ago the Australian Law Reform Commission wrote a paper on their findings for human tissue transplants. The report can be found at http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/alrc/publications/reports/7/index.html

Isn't it disgusting that vagabonds and thieves are actively at work everywhere, even in the stealing of human beings! Not only are human beings sold as living products in the area of sex slavery, but that now we are not safe even when we are dead! This only goes to show that the almighty dollar stands above us all and that too many people place too much emphasis on owning more, buying more and needing more... Why don't we try needing less for a minute? Why do we have to sell our souls for a buck... I have grave fears for the human race...

How do you propose to regulate the practise in China?

If Governments stop pandering to religious ethical minorities we will eventually be able to grow replacement body parts.

Stem Cell research will remove this disgusting trade.

I am perfectly healthy but only earn a meagre wage, how much can I get for one of my kidneys and where do I find a buyer?
