Organ Trafficking is Big Business

Alanna Shaikh - September 2, 2009 - 9:01 am

KidneyAccording to an article on CNN.com published today, the sale and trafficking of human organs is a major global business. It targets poor people who need rapid cash. One of its major hubs is Israel. It’s not the wake up in a hotel bathroom in a bathtub of ice story of urban legend, but it does describe the routine buying and selling of human organs. These organs, obviously, go from poor people to rich people; it’s a kind of biological colonialism. According to the WHO, up to ten percent of kidney transplants are illicit.

 

I’m pretty stunned. This is something that everyone suspected was going on, but I don’t think anyone believed there was organ trafficking at this level. No one is sure what to do about it, either. We can’t expect hospitals to do detailed investigations of everyone who donates or receives an organ. A Salon.com essay posits that we could reduce organ trafficking by doing a better job of recruiting donors in wealthy countries, which could cut down on the need to buy organs from strangers. Time magazine revisits the argument that legalization is the answer. Then, at least, we could regulate the trade and legally protect those who donate.

In other creepy organ news, China recently admitted to harvesting organs from executed prisoners. Authorities also mentioned that corruption entered into the donation process, and that prisoners did not always give consent. It seems clear to me that the technology is way ahead of the ethical canon and regulatory structure when it comes to organ donation. Whatever answers we end up with, we need to do some serious thinking and legislating on this, as soon as possible.

I read about organ trafficking in the newspaper the other day and I was shocked! I can't believe people would actually sell organs. I guess it's just the law of the capitalist market - supply and demand. But this kind of market must definitely be kept on a tight leash. easy saver Mike Peterson

When we talk of Livni, Meier, Begin, Rabin, Netanyahu, Sharon (and treasonous dual American-Israeli Fifth-Columnists such as Paul Wolfowitz, Raul Emmanuel, Michael Chertoff and Ben Bernanke) and the founding mass murdering terrorist of the Satanic state of Israel, the antichristic and European-hating Ben Gurion, let us never forget that we are dealing with representatives of an illegal sect of International Usurpers who have brought our entire world to the very brink of not only financial bankruptcy, but right unto the Abyss of nuclear Armageddon.

Poor little nuclear-armed 'Israel', which has even threatened to destroy the entire world unless it gets its own petulant, screaming and kicking childish little ways. Let us, as gullible Christians and westerners, who have been taught to hate all Arabs (the true Semites and the real Children of Shem) release a flood of tears so great for those much-abused hook-nosed destroyers of orange groves and the builders of a hideous wall of evil between themselves and real, suffering humanity, drown them all in a deluge of our overwhelming sympathy for their sheer Christ-murdering cunning and arts of manipulation, blackmail and bribery.

Let us, as Christians and westerners, never forget their hatred towards us and forgive them for their apparently harmless wisecracks; for surely, these lovable Edomites and Turko-Mongols, who were never the Children of Israel, must be joking when they say:

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force." ­ Israeli military tactician and professor Martin Crevald [5].

Let us consider the ponderings of the Bolshevik Jewish racial supremacist, Menachem Begin:

"Our race [speaking of the Ashkenazim false Jews and Edomites] is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves." ­ June 25, 1982, as quoted as an enhancement of Rabbi Schneerson's racist claims in the 'New Statesman'.

Yet Satanic asslickers, such as John Hagee, Barack Obama and the demonically selfish and unscrupulous Hillary Clinton, will not hear one word against a people who have always, and will continue, to despise hard-working Americans and Europeans. Let's name just a small sample of the Jews who have hated and despised America; who have betrayed, and whose ilk will always continue to betray, America and the English people:
