RE: The human cost of organ trafficking

in Hive Learners3 days ago

I just learned that selling organs is illegal. However, despite its illegality, some people are normalizing it. I saw some individuals selling their kidneys to pay loans or cover daily needs.

If you watch this documentary and understand Tagalog, it’s very sad that most people sell their kidneys. The system is that you become the donor, and others pay you. Probably, the reason they donate is not because they want to help. In reality, they trade their kidney for money. That’s sad, but some Filipinos joke about using this strategy if they want to afford luxury items. HAHAHAHAH.

Some actually donate because they want to help while some donate for money to sort one the other.
