Per an article by Gene Emery for Scientific American ( if my recollecting is accurate) , it is no longer necessary to have a complete match between kidney donor and kidney recipient. Recipients can live as long as 8 years with a mismatched kidney while waiting for a better match. If this holds true for kidneys and any other organs the implications for organ trafficking are staggering. Virtually any healthy human without AIDS of course can be exploited or murdered for kidneys and maybe other organs. I think its important for the crimes we research re: organ trafficking to have bioligical viabilility. After harvesting where , and how, do these organs become transplanted given the challenges inherent in preserving and matching and maintaining a transplanted organ.

We need to educate ourselves on this aspect because it is too hard for the unawakened person to believe this is really happening. It is such a horrible crime that no sane person wants to believe it. Its worse than SRA in my book where there is at least the chance to survive. My day is already ruined reading these several posts. Thanks to the posters for having the stomach to make these posts.
