black market organ trade

Black market organ trade involves illegal buying and selling of human organs outside regulated healthcare systems. This underground activity often targets vulnerable individuals in need of money or desperate circumstances, and donors may face significant health risks. Buyers seek organs like kidneys or livers to bypass legal waiting lists, but such transactions violate laws, raise ethical concerns, and pose safety issues due to unregulated procedures. Efforts to combat this trade focus on creating fair, legal organ donation systems and increasing awareness to prevent exploitation and ensure safe, ethical transplantation.
