dept slaves sell organs

Back

Organ transplant groups firmly oppose the suggestion by a kidney specialist that Australians be allowed to sell their organs to people desperate for a transplant. Australian laws deem illegal selling or buying organs, carrying a penalty of six months' jail and fines of $4,400. Senior Canberra nephrologist Gavin Carney believes changing the law would save thousands of lives and billions of dollars spent caring for patients who are left languishing on the organ waiting list for up to 10 years, Fairfax says. More than 1,800 people are waiting for a kidney transplant in Australia but only 343 kidneys were donated last year, forcing some patients to travel to countries such as Pakistan and India to buy organs for up to $30,000 on the black market. Transplant Australia chief executive Chris Thomas believes such a move will leave poor and desperate people vulnerable. "It really focuses on the poor and people who are least able to pay for things in society. They get attracted to these types of things," he told ABC Radio. "We'd reject that. "We'd also be concerned about what's going to happen in the long term. "If you accept the fact that poor people are going to look at these types of stories and think well, maybe that's for me, they're probably also more likely to suffer from lifestyle diseases later in life and may end up needing a kidney transplant themselves at some stage in the future because of our increasing rates of obesity." Kidney Australia director Dr Tim Matthews says the focus should be on getting more Australians to donate their organs. "It's a sign of how desperate things are, and in particular how desperate some people feel, having waited for a kidney for some years without any result," he told the ABC. "The state of South Australia has had twice the rate of organ donation that NSW has had over the last 10 years. "There's no central reason why NSW can't match that." personally If the goverment allows such practices to take place . People that are in dept may seek to sell organs . I can see this becoming a future issue , when your body and it organs become viewed as assets , not by you or me but by banks , NGO's , the government . When dept slaves are viewed themselves as being part of the payment or payback option . this can't start . But if it does it will start out small and painted in the media as in peoples interests . And I guessing if it is being dragged up in the fox media , then it is going ahead as the media likes to soften up the masses to the idear of something before implementing it . However I think it has already been decided we are only now being informed to see how the people react . There is a lot being setup right now with , food , oil , realestate , the currency , people have to wake up to what is going on around them we are being setup for depression and it is designed and carryed out by the media , big business , the banks , and the political puppets in power all working in with this same agenda . We have to wake people up and look at what is really going on around you .
