WHAT IS ORGAN DONATION.. Donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body, from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation.

HISTORY

Indian surgeon Sushruta in the 2nd century BC, used autografted skin transplantation in nose reconstruction.The first human organ transplant was a kidney transplant performed by Dr. Joseph Murray in 1954.

WHY DONATE?Every 16 minutes, another name is added to the waiting list.Each year, thousands of people die while waiting for a transplant, because no suitable donor can be found for them. The need for organ donors has never been greater.

ORGAN TRADE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKINGOrgan trade is the trade involving inner human organs for organ transplantation.Victims can be kidnapped and forced to give up an organ.Organ is removed without their knowledge. Some victims are even murdered.

ORGAN BLACK MARKET IN NUMBERSIllegal Organ Trade Market:$0.075 Billion ($75 Million).Profit for Organ Trafficker :15X Between Buying Price and Selling Price.Profits from Selling Dead Body :$200,000

ORGAN BLACK MARKET IN NUMBERSAverage paid by Kidney Buyer: $150,000Average paid to Seller of Kidney: $5,000What middle men gets out of this? 150000-5000=$145000
