A young girl has been smuggled out of Africa and sold for organ harvesting, authorities have revealed. It is the first case of a child being trafficked into Britain for the express intention of providing organs for people desperate for a transplant, reports the Telegraph.
The girl, whose identity has been protected, was taken from Somalia and smuggled into the UK so that her organs could be removed and sold. A British government report revealed human trafficking has reached record levels, rising by 50 per cent in the last year.

As if you wouldn't do it to save your own child!

The parents don't probably even know about it though. They have probably just gone to some back water medical people who said they have access to organs.
Though a 50% rise year on year is very troubling isn't it?edit on 20-10-2013 by DaRAGE because: (no reason given)

There is absolutely no defending this atrocity. None, zero.
I will go one further though cause I believe the punishment should fit the crime.
Those caught trafficking for such purposes should be made to forfeit their organs at the execution they have earned that includes the doctors and recipients, anyone with knowledge of what was transpireing.

I like how it says its the first case of trafficking specifically to harvest organs.

It happens (unfortunately legally) over in the US as well, except it's the parents who produce the organ donor themselves in order to save their sick firstborn. Those poor, whole and healthy kids, forcibly deprived of parts of their own bodies!
