Kidney sales spark legislation about body parts transactions
Donors make money on the side, while Parliament debates
The Associated Press
LONDON — A government effort to ban trade in body parts was prompted by a kidnakes-for-
euro gang private London hospital this year.
"The concept of organs being bought and sold for money is entirely unacceptable in a civilized society," Freeman told a House of Commons committee during debate on proposed legislation outlawing organ sales. The bill is expected to pass Parliament later this month.
"The bill will cause death where there could be life, and prolong suffering where we could provide relief," said Sir Michael McNairlison, a Conservative Parliamentarian awaiting a kidney transplant.
The legislation will make it a crime to pay or receive payment for a human organ, act as broker in such transactions, or solicit buyers or sellers. It will, however, permit voluntary donors to be reimbursed for the costs of removing a kidney.
British lawmakers acted after news reports in January that Turkish peasants were paid to donate kidneys for transplant surgery at a Turkish hospital. Turkish authorities said donors were paid $2,300 to $5,600.
Freeman said a Gallup Poll commissioned in February by the British Kidney Patients Association found 87 percent of the respondents opposed commercial transactions in human organs.
"XYZ"
Whether they would think the same if faced with the choice of paying for an organ or of one not being available, thereby causing death or prolonged suffering for a member of the family or a close friend, is another matter.

"Whether they would think the same if faced with the choice of paying for an organ or of one not being available, thereby causing death or prolonged suffering for a member of the family or a close friend, is another matter." McMair Wilson in committee debate.
"We are discussing a shortage of organs for transplant, particularly of kidneys. The waiting list stands at 3,500 people, but the list is growing," he said. "Many people have had kidney failure for long periods. Many people who could survive if they had a new kidney, die without cause."
Freeman conceded donations, which average 1,500 a year, were falling short of demand and noted that the demand ordered to find ways to identify
potential donors. The government has also asked health workers to record every death in intensive care for COVID-19, valuable organs were not transplanted.
After public about his plight, McNair-Wilson said a woman in Australia wrote to offer a kidney for $20,000. According to McNair-Wilson, she had lost her home in a bush fire, had no insurance and was sick of "pulling myself and my children up by the bootstraps."
Neil Hamilton, who cast the only vote against the bill in committee, said he had pondered the dilemma of furloughing Kweli who allegedly sold a kidney.
A similar argument for the right to sell organs was advanced by Royden Harrison, emeritus professor of social history at Warwick University, in a February letter to The Times of London.
"His daughter was suffering from a medical problem which threatened her life, but it could not be solved in Turkey without the help of foreigners. But she not get the money for the operation, his daughter would die."
"What possible objection can there be if one person, of their own free will and without duress, should sell their kidney to someone else?" he asked. "Nor is there any wrong done by the middleman who makes a profit out of the dead body of an unrelated in a few of the good things in life. The buyer may well be paying to survive."
