In America, in direct response to indefinite delays on the national
transplantation waitlists and an inadequate supply of organs, a
growing number of terminally ill Americans are turning to
international underground markets and coordinators or brokers for
organs. Chinese inmates on death-row and the economically
disadvantaged in India and Brazil are the often compromised
co-participants in the private negotiation process, which occurs
outside the legal process - or in the shadows of law. These
individuals supply kidneys and other organs for Americans and other
Westerners willing to shop and pay in the private process. This
book contends that exclusive reliance on the present altruistic
tissue and organ procurement processes in the United States is not
only rife with problems, but also improvident. The author explores
how the altruistic approach leads to a 'black market' of organs
being harvested from Third World individuals as well as compelled
donations from children and incompetent persons.
