ABSTRACT:
Organ transplantation is one of the life-saving advances of the modern period. The more lives are saved from organ transplantation, the more people expect to save themselves from the last stage of organ failure. The current situation is that the required organ exceeds the organ supplied. Therefore, it is becoming the root cause of illicit trade in organs around the world. The quality in organ transplantation thus is its own victim. Organ hunters harvest organs from the weak and helpless. Organs are either harvested from living people or from dead bodies, although there is a greater proportion of organ collection from living people. Living donors are either compelled to donate or able to do so for money or work prospects as provided by middlemen. The crime of trafficking in organs is multifaceted and ethically unacceptable. Transplant tourism is also becoming popular day by day one, with developing countries like India and Pakistan becoming a hot spot for such illegal transplantation. As in these countries, poverty and poverty are not lacking. This paper is an effort to examine the present situation of trafficking in organs and the Indian side story of trafficking in organs.
