#1 At least 10 different comments, mostly snarky, came to mind, but this is just so incredibly disgusting and beyond the pale that I can't do it. I swear, Kin Du Toit's take on Africa, though depressing as hell, is spot-on. Every bend in every river...

#2 Unfortunately, this isn't new. It's been going on for at least twenty years, and involves several dozen groups. There are organ-doner abductions in India, Bangladesh, all of Southeast Asia, Latin America, and even some unconfirmed cases in the United States. There have been rumors for years that Chinese prisons were a ready source of non-donated organs used in transplants.

There are too many people who have far more money than they have scruples. If they need a transplant, they don't care where the organ comes from, as long as it works. There are other unscrupulous people who are willing to harvest those organs, and have no thought for where - or whom - they come from. It'll get a lot worse before there's enough attention brought to bear to overcome the bribes that keep police looking the other way.
