Organ Harvesting, that is to say the illegal removal of organs from a “donor”, has been going on for a long time. Quite often the donor is left in such a way that they will not die right away, such as being in ice and given pain killers. A few are not so lucky and awaken to find themselves being healed together by poor stitching and still bleeding. Then later the infections set in. This all assumes the donor did not die during the procedure.
The market for illegal organs is quite lucrative. Most are stolen to order, with buyers paying high prices for an organ that s meets their exact medical requirements, such as blood type and other compatibility requirements.
