Oh it happens over here as well. I think it is mostly taken across the border to Mexico because those with cash can get away with more there. You don't really think all the missing person cases are from runaways do you.
The antiaging power of blood might not be just the stuff of vampire stories. According to new research from Harvard University, an unspecified factor in the blood of young mice can reverse signs of aging in the circulatory system of older ones.
Young blood can reverse some effects of ageing, study finds

Everyone should be an organ donor and this type of stuff would never happen.
Donate people!! (see sig for more)
Yeah, looked what happened to this girl.
Patient Wakes Up as Doctors Get Ready to Remove Organs
Caroline Burns woke up in a hospital as doctors were about to remove her organs and donate them to patients on the transplant waiting list.
That's why I don't "check the box" to be a donor. Some of those doctors... geez.

In the UK, we actually have some of the more progressive Stem Cell research laws and guidelines and allow it - unlike in the US were your religious nutters have far too much say.

Unfortunately the hospital that gets the organs from a lic. donor make money on the transaction, here lies the problem there is money to be made and big money so how can you trust them not to yank the organs of someone who could have been saved.
There are hundreds of thousands of children missing in the world. How much too you want to bet the very rich are not only using some to harvest, but now the discovery that their blood can promote youth some are probably being held and bled until too old then killed so they can't ever tell. there are truly monsters on this earth!

How easy it is to be an armchair quarterback....condemning those that have had to make a monumental decision that none of you will likely never have to make.
If I were in the position of needing an organ for myself or my child, I would take any opportunity to get that organ and I wouldn't lose a night of sleep over it. That isn't harsh, its survival. So some kid living in a mud hut, not contributing anything to society, gets taken and her organs harvested. So what!? This is somehow the Red Line in the sand for you?
I would NEVER let my child suffer and die if there was anything I could do to stop it....anything up to and including the murder of someone that statistics show will die of Malaria or Dysintary (sp) before they're even an adult.
How nice that all of you are martyrs!! I just thank God you aren't MY parents and I'm suffering from some organ disease.
Not claiming the girl deserved this, but in a her or me situation, she loses every time.

Psychopathy (or sociopathy) is a personality disorder characterised partly by enduring anti-social behavior, a diminished capacity for empathy or remorse, and poor behavioral controls.[1]
The 4th and 5th editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) have a diagnosis of Antisocial (Dissocial) Personality Disorder (ASPD), which states: "The essential feature of antisocial personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood. This pattern has also been referred to as psychopathy, sociopathy, or dyssocial personality disorder."
The simple fact that some deem it appropriate to post graphic photos of dead children is simply appalling. End of story and end of thread.

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)
My God you would have another child killed for their organs to save yours? i can't even believe someone would think such a thing besides say it openly. You should give your own organs to your child. Yes someone elses child is as precious as my own!

Probably don't need the links with pics to that tragedy either. Most of us are aware of that story. I understand your point about it though. Thanks.

Did I miss it somewhere in the article, is this specific child alive and okay? or did this news get out after the fact?
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.

I may be totally wrong here, but I thought that (in adults, anyways) bone marrow harvesting was done while the patient is conscious.
