INTRODUCTION
Human organ trafficking, which involves the exploitation, coercion, illegal purchasing, or selling of organs, has become a primary international concern. According to the United Nations, legally available organs for transplants only accommodate roughly 10% of the global industry demand; as a result, the shortage of human organs has produced a market for human organ trafficking.
Combating Global Organ Trafficking (CGOT) was established not only to educate and bring awareness to human organ trafficking. CGOT also conducts scientific research regarding this heinous crime which will lead to policy implications aimed at social transformation.
"The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds."
The Severity of Human Organ Trafficking
The crime of human organ trafficking violates human dignity's principles of justice and respect, objectifies and dehumanizes the trafficked individual, commoditizes organ procurement and transplantation, damages the medical profession's integrity, undermines the public trust in organ transplantation, and has harmful consequences for the trafficked individuals and organ recipients.
Human organ trafficking must be seriously addressed from legal, medical, and ethical perspectives.
Organ Trafficking Must Be Prohibited & Criminalized!
It is time to:
(1) strengthen criminal laws to enforce the prohibitions of unethical & criminal practices of organ trafficking;
(2) create a transparent system to protect both organ donors & recipients;
(3) raise public awareness of the severity of organ trafficking
