trafficking of human organs. I will look at the organ transplantation system in Canada and India. At the same time, I will compare the two countries and examine the laws that existed to punish illegal trafficking groups from luring innocent poor donors into the organ trade.

There have been laws in Canada that object the purchase of human organs, but surely do not have any objection with the donation of organs (Friscolanti, “Will sell organs for cash”).

wealthy clients to the impoverished donors, the black market organ trade has become somewhat of a normalcy to many worldwide. This atrocious, yet prosperous business exists because the supply of organs lag far behind the demand.

Your kidneys filter your blood, when your blood isn 't filtered, it causes damage to all of the other organs in the body. As far as I could tell, she was in the early stages so we still had a chance. I put her on the transplant list as fast as I could. The sooner she got a kidney, the better chance she would have to walk out of here happy and healthy. No…
