Transplantation is one of the most beautiful achievements
for humanity in the last century and became
the last hope to many patients. As other beautiful
achievements, it has been used by criminals. The future
of transplantation will be focused on tissue and cells
transplantation. Trafficking of human beings to organ
removal and trafficking of human organs are an early
stage of trafficking on tissues and cells comparable
with slaves trafficking in the 17th and 18th century. As
400 years ago, the motive for the crime is development,
economy and profit. Transplant surgery is the modern
“cotton gin” to this new commerce. Poverty exploitation,
unprotected people, are always the victims. Even
so, there are some differences since then. The paying
buyers are the patients themselves and the “cotton”
transplanted is not so harmless. Unsafe tissues and
cells inappropriately collected and allocated can be
so dangerous to the recipient and his family, that the
dreamed transplant/implant becomes a nightmare. Beyond the trafficking crime, there is a most dangerous associated crime that is the crime of spreading dangerous infectious diseases
