Ukrainians having financial difficulties have been identified as organ donors in several cases of suspected trafficking of living kidney transplants carried out overseas through the mediation of a Tokyo-based non-profit organization. Even when there is an agreement between donors and recipients or a third party, such transplants are criticized internationally as inhumane.
Emphasizing ‘quality’
“The COVID-19 crisis has made our daily lives worse. Anyone who wants to sell a kidney should contact us.”
On one of the websites written in Ukrainian, such posts about organ trafficking have increased since the COVID-19 disaster broke out in 2020. In 2021, there were about 280 such posts, nearly four times as many as in 2019.
The site lists the age and blood type, and the organ they wish to buy or sell and at what price. There are even posts that emphasize the “quality” of the organs on offer, such as, “Perfectly healthy 20-year-old!” Contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses are also listed.
Many organ buyers claim to be medical professionals outside of Ukraine. For example, a person who calls himself “George,” a nephrologist, has offered to broker sales on the same site on about 40 occasions since June last year.
The posts continued unabated even after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. On Sept. 7, a person claiming to be a neurologist posted, “If you are suffering from economic hardship, I will buy your kidney.” He stated that he had “bases in Japan” as well as in the United States and India. The Yomiuri Shimbun put questions to this person by email but received no reply.

60 billion isn’t enough
Oh yeah, war lords. Kevin Nealon parodied a slick willie description of this. The people see not a penny of it.
I hear big money in organ harvesting - like as Planned Parenthoods take. HAr to image “dark” money in backdoor harvesting. Who would risk purchasing someone elses parts from a body you have no clue wasn’t laying in the battlefield in Ukraine!
If non “connected” Ukrainians are that desperately poor now when the billions are flowing into Ukraine, think how desperate they will be when the war ends along with the money flows.
Zelensky and his battalions of CORRUPTACRATS will leave the country to join their many, many, millions of dollars. The Ukrainian peasants will be left behind in a country that has been bled dry.
They were trying to harvest dead Russian soldier organs but doctors became suspicous when all the organs were pickled.
These are Ukrainians outside the country. The billions go to keeping the country afloat while it throws out the invaders
I donated half my liver to my brother, and this was perfectly legal. It would have been illegal for me to sell it, I would not do that. There is no logic in one not having this right.
I forgot to add, in our nation it is perfectly legal to chop body parts off children who are confused about their sexuality. Post puberty they become aware of their real sexuality and once 18 should have every right to do this if they so choose.
