U.S. Hospitals Secretly Promote Black Market Trading of Harvested Organs for Transplants

     Black Market Trading of Harvested Organs for Transplants
    
Black Market of Organs

Many hospitals in the United States are tacitly participating in the illegal organ transplant industry by not scrutinizing potential donors too closely, experts worry. The purchase or sale of organs is illegal in most countries, including the United States, but a chronic shortage of organs for transplant has led to a thriving international black market. Typically, poor donors (usually from Third World countries) are paid several thousand dollars for organs that are then resold for upwards of $100,000 to rich recipients, usually from the First World. The arrests of 44 U.S. residents on organ trafficking charges in July marks the first documented case of the practice in the United States, and has raised concerns that hospitals here might be encouraging it.

The pill called ellaOne is already available overseas in at least 22 other countries. It is now being offered by the French to the US. Now the Food and Drug Administration are considering making it available in the United States. Those who oppose the acceptance of this new form of birth control argue its similarities to abortion. The pill (ellaOne) contains an ingredient, RU-486, that is chemically the same as the abortion pill. The new pill will allow users to take up to five days after intercourse. The current morning after pill, Plan B, is only available for use for up to two days after intercourse.

Almost 30 New Zealand women will be tested for Hepatitis C after potentially being exposed to the infection at a Melbourne abortion clinic. Earlier this month 44 women in Australia tested positive to the infection after being treated by James Latham Peters, an anaesthetist at a Croydon abortion clinic, Australia's Department of Human Services revealed. Dr Peters, a widower and father of two teenage children, has a history of drug abuse and received a suspended jail sentence in 1996 for writing around 100 stolen pethidine prescriptions for himself and his late wife Julia.

Nicaragua, one of the few countries in the world to maintain a total ban on abortion, has again rejected pressure by foreign powers to liberalize its pro-life legislation.

A report from proceedings at the UN's Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva reveals that 11 countries called for Nicarague to legalize abortion. Delegate Carlos Robelo, however, flatly refused to bow under pressure.

Instead, reports Pat Buckley, the UN consultant for the UK-based Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), Robelo told the HRC that Nicaragua would not reverse its pro-life legislation to allow "therapeutic abortions" and maintained that the law as it stands expresses the will of the country's people.

Mass protest: experts are speaking out against the growing human population and the impact it will have
     Mass Population

A growing number of scientists are going where politicians fear to tread by calling for a wider public debate on the sensitive issue of the global human population, which is set to rise from the present 6.8 billion to perhaps 9 billion by 2050. Lord Rees, the president of the Royal Society, brought the subject up in his excellent Reith Lectures; Sir David Attenborough has become a champion of those who believe population has been relegated as an environmental issue; and more recently Professor Aubrey Manning, presenter of the BBC's Earth Story, has stated that the sheer number of humans on the planet is the greatest menace the world faces.

Planned Parenthood forces us into RU-486 complicity

The FDA has not updated its adverse events for RU-486 abortions or given a congressional report for over four years – and RU-486 has only been legal in the U. S. for nine and a half years.

So we can guess the number of complications has doubled, particularly given RU-486's increased popularity, since the FDA reported in May 2006 that 950 adverse events had been reported:

    Approximately one-quarter of the 950 patients were hospitalized. The most frequently reported event of interest in the case reports was blood loss requiring a transfusion. The next most frequently reported events were infection and ectopic pregnancy. ...
