Kidney Sale Business In Pakistan Is Very Old

In Pakistan and specially in the remotest villages the kidney sales business is on peak due to poverty. As several years back thee was no law about the trade so this business was promoted and in the hospitals of big cities like Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore, where kidney were taken through operation and transplanted to the needy patients openly.
Mean cause of sale of kidneys was the poverty in the poor areas when these people came to know that donation of a kidney will bring them enough money and their health will not be affected, they started selling their kidneys. During 2005, in Pakistan 4000 people had sold their kidneys.
Though the sale of human organ is not 100 % illegal or immoral because many experts say that selling of human organ for saving of a human life is not so bad deed. But in Pakistan and other developing countries the problem is that greedy doctors and their middle men have made this business a source of earning money. The middle men roam about in the villages and deceive simple and illiterate poor to sell their kidney for fifty thousand to one lakh (50000-100000)rupees which is a great amount for a poor person. They bring the person to the clinics and doctor performs his job.
When the patients in the USA, Britain, Europe and Middle East came to know that human organs are available in Pakistan on cheaper rates they started contacting professionals (doctors) in this regard and the business of these people progressed day by day. Today these foreigners buy a kidney for $ 10000 (RS 86000)and save their lives, while the poor donor is paid only Rs 100000 maximum.
An eminent doctor and specialist in organ transplant Adeeb ul Hassan Rizvi of Karachi started fighting against this business and due to his efforts Government banned this business through an ordinance in 2007 and now only relative can donate his body organ to a patient. Government also constituted a body " Human Organ Transplant Authority: to check this trade due to which now this business is dim.
