Shading Light on Kidney Donation

A recent news piece about kidney donation in Pakistan for money had shade light on how dangerous it could be for the health of the donors, although recipients regain their health. Farmers that are strapped for cash because debt they owe whose number is big have no choice other than selling their kidney. Those who sell their kidneys could make up to $2,500 or less while those that are getting the transplant could pay from $6,000 to $12,000 whose number reach 2000 on a yearly basis. In neighboring China, the amount could reach $70,000. The Pakistani government is contemplating banning selling kidney, whereas in the U.S. it is already banned, yet in Belgium the government is in the process of allowing the selling of kidneys at around $40,000.

Those who had sold their kidneys are expected to be under medical observation to monitor their health so that the remaining kidney will not be affected. However, from what was gathered from the donors, almost all of them are suffering from some kind of an ailment. Some are claiming that they cannot do what they used to do at the same level, whereas some are claiming they have problem walking, running, and lifting up items. It is no wonder governments around the world are banning selling kidneys and they are planning to take legal measure on those in the medical profession caught in the process.
