Perhaps the kidney trade should be legalized. Those suffering from kidney failure obviously need a kidney more than many people walking around with two need to keep both, who in turn might really value some extra cash. Sounds like a win-win trade.

Some were forced to undergo surgery; others were falsely diagnosed with ailments like gall stones that required surgical treatment.

Kidney theft does happen, apparently!

Of course, the best advice is:
Control your blood pressure, prevent or control diabetes and you will likely keep your own kidneys working.

an illicit global kidney-transplant ring

I thought that was based in Las Vegas? I read an article once of people waking up in their hotel bathtubs to find they had been drugged and someone had stolen their kidneys.......
