The kidney trade seems to be spreading its tentacles all over, the latest entrant being Peru. A growing number of Americans who need a Kidney and who are willing to pay almost anything have made Peru their hunting ground. Recently a single mother in Peru sold one of her kidneys for $18,000 to a wealthy California businessman whose kidneys failed in 1999.His doctor in Los Angeles told him that he would needed to be on dialysis, there are weeks until an organ becomes available for transplant as per the waiting list, At this point the patient and his family decided that the quality of his dialysis offered commercial living donor kidney transplants contact was made with the team and once donor was found, the surgery was performed without further ado. In all, the kidney surgery and 30 days of post-operative car cost $60,000 once such team is headed by a Dr Bolivar Escobodedo who is totally open about his involvement in the buying and selling of kidney in Peru. This kind of trading has been illegal in Peru for more than a year, but according to Escobedo the authorities don’t prosecute. He says it is possible for him to get a kidney in 48 hours and the he has more than 200 healthy people already screened and ready to sell their kidneys. The story of the donors is the same as that in India. They are from desperately poor neighborhoods and see this as a way out of the debts. But the majority of donors, says Nancy Scheper-Hughes, director of Organs Watch, an international group that monitors the sale of human organs and the people who sell them, have medical problems. She says, “we don’t want to turn the poor people in the world into bags of spare parts that you or I, a person who has more resource or money, can simply prey upon. It is morally unacceptable to do that.”
