I wonder where those kidneys end up.

Where are the doctors who transplant the kidneys into other people located? How does one arrange such a transaction?

So many questions, but I can't get past the part about selling their 6- and 8-year old daughters. Ugh.

Here’s an article about the kidney trade in Afghanistan.

I take issue with this:

“In Afghanistan everything has a value, except human life,” said Dr. Mahdi Hadid, a member of Herat’s provincial council.

The market for kidneys is affirmation that human life has value.

I actually think we should allow it here, with special conditions attached, such as a waiting period.
