  • サマリー

  • Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name:  Speaking for the SilencedEpisode 6:  Organ Trafficking: Part 1

    Tune into this week’s episode of #SpeakingfortheSilenced!

    You are listening to Speaking for the Silenced podcast with your host(s) Jacqueline Sun.

    In this episode of Speaking for the Silenced, we will begin a two-part segment discussing organ trafficking, perhaps one of the least visible forms of human trafficking. 

    Segment 1: Background
    • Involves a lot of stealth and intricacy, many crime groups participate in it
    • Organ demand is much higher than supply, what makes the practice so lucrative
    • Most traded are kidneys
    • Average wait time for a kidney is around 3-4 years
    • Time is much too long, people take desperate measures

    Segment 2:  How does it happen?
    • Traffickers target the most vulnerable as in other forms of trafficking
    • Offer a lump sum of money
    • Engage in insanely upscaled reselling
    • Actual removal of organ is done without care for the patient
    • Organ buying and selling is illegal in many countries, many engage in something known as “transplant tourism”, which is legal
    • Little regulation on transplant tourism
    • CoVID-19 has bred the perfect conditions for an influx of organ trafficking
    • Influx of debt, traffickers can more easily extort organ removals
    • Hospitals are backed up with COVID-19
    • Waiting lists for organs increases, demand increases

    Segment 3:  What Has Been Done
    • Tracking through the monetary transactions
    • Raising initiative: Project Protect initiative
    • Legislation targeting transplant tourism and organ trafficking
    • Involving the private sector
    • Working through social media platforms, where many ads are posted for organ buying and selling
