Statistics show that donor organs tend to less than organ
transplants, which means that the demand does not meet the supply. The
insufficient supply has led to the development of human organ trade in the
black market that help facilitate these transplants. Organ transplants in the
black market is unsafe and unethical as it involves the monetary exchange of
money for organs thus giving no regard for human dignity
In 2016, “45 doctors, nurses and middlemen were arrested because
of their involvement in Human Organ trade in Egypt as migrants sold body parts
to reach Europe. The health ministry of Egypt during this raid recovered
millions of dollars that were used in these trade. I t was discovered that
human organs traffickers targeted mainly African migrants who were in need of
making their way to Europeâ€
Human organs trafficking exists in today world as it mostly
operates in the black market. This trade is unhuman, violent and depicts the
lack of ethics of persons involved in this trade. This means that a lot laws
are broken in order for this trade to take place. The lack of organs for these
traffickers means that the business is failing. This may lead to them resorting
to violent ways in order to ensure that their business is running such as
kidnapping and murder. Organs that are mostly traded include kidneys, liver
that is organs that are used for the purposes of transplant
Human organ trafficking is an organized crime which means
that involves parties such as doctors whether licensed or not, nurses,
middlemen , contractors transporter and the recruiter, storage and the buyers
who play an important role in facilitating the illegal trade of human organs . My definition criteria is based on illegality,
parties and activities involved. Without all this parties present it would be
difficult to trade in human organs. Trafficking also involves looking for
vulnerable persons that is they use migrants who are trying to get into America
through offering of safe passage in exchange for organ donation. An underground
black market ring have played a major role in human organ trafficking as it is
the market place where the sellers and buyers of organs meet.
Persons in the black market are criminals as they conduct
human trafficking without taking into consideration the state laws that state
human organ trafficking is illegal. The organ donors are mostly immigrants and
vulnerable who donate this organs in exchange of money or passage. These donors
are vetted to ensure that they are healthy before donating their organs. The
recruiter is the person who look for clients and donors and propose his
dealings to them, that means that his buyers are also vulnerable, that is they
are in need of these organs. Doctors and nurses are the people who take part in
the harvesting of organs from the donors to the buyers without giving regard to
ethics.
The transporter ensures that human organs that are harvested
reach the buyers on time. Middlemen are the people who speak on behalf of their
organization, that is they express their interests to their customers, this is
individual can also be described as organ brokers and are criminals as they
engage in illegal organ trafficking. Storage facilities of these organs play a
significant role in organ trafficking, as it is the place that holds organs
that are yet to be donated... Contractors are found in the market place as they
ensure that transactions between the buyers and sellers are conducted which
happens to be before and after the organ transplant.
The case of “45 doctors meets ,nurses, and middlemen are arrested for Human organ trade in Egypt
as migrants sell body parts to reach Europe“ meets my definition criteria for
Human trafficking. This is through the following ways that human trafficking is
illegal which is evidenced in this case they are arrested for engaging in human
organ trafficking. “Doctors, nurses and middlemen†are the persons involved in
facilitating of human trafficking as the doctors and nurses perform organ
harvest and organ transplant and while middlemen facilitate this trade as they
are the persons who speak on behalf of the recruiter. This case also portrays
how the migrants facilitate this trade that is by selling body parts in order
for them to reach Europe.
The case of “FIA Empowered to Curb Human Traffickingâ€
Human organ trade is illicit and unethical and should not be
tolerated by our governments but should rather be curbed through the
implementation of legislations to ensure that it is dealt with as it unsafe.
Parties that undertake in human organ trafficking should be given lengthy
sentences in order to discourage from engaging in human organ trade. Doctors
especially should be stripped of their licenses to operate. The black market
that facilitates this trade should be destroyed.
