Trafficking in Death

Kidney transplant policy needs to change


If you are saying to yourself that a person would have to be Bugs Bunny's knuckleheaded maroon not to buy the longer-lasting car, you are beginning to appreciate the sub-text of purchasing a kidney from a live donor in places like China and India and Pakistan. They are not just any kidney, they are much, much better kidneys than what is otherwise often available to people who require a transplant.


Get your kidneys here ! Red hot ! Fresh from Tibetian Donars ! Yes sir ! Everyone a genuine volinteer, just ask the Chinese Government , they'll be happy to confirm this !


In all ways, the living donor is not just better but what one might call betterissimo. More than half the living donor recipients are out of the hospital in five days, compared to 30 per cent of the standard criteria donors and 22 per cent of those who got kidneys from older, sicker donors.


Yes sir ! Get your live donar transplants ! Trust us ! No tibetian monks were harmed in the making of this donation ! Except for the ones who volinteered ! Yes sir ! Genuine volinteers each and everyone !

So the best thing you can do, the smartest thing to do, Zaltzman suggested to me, is accept the inevitable disconnect between willing givers and needy recipients and legalize payment for kidneys in this country.


yes ! Let ohip pay for my chinese tibetian volinteer kidney ! That sounds like a great plan ! We should start immediately !
