Young people sell kidneys when they are short of money? China’s black-hearted industry exposed

A teenager in China sold a kidney for an iPhone 10 years ago, and since then his Life has been in ruins, and he will have to live on dialysis and medication for the rest of his life. The local media also revealed the “black-hearted kidney selling industry chain”, many of the “donors” are young people in their 20s, and agents often use the excuse that “although people have two kidneys, only one kidney is working, and the right kidney is not used until after 30 years old. The left kidney is not used” as a reason to weaken all the possible health hazards after selling the kidney and emphasize that the financial difficulties can be solved if the kidney is sold. Doctors emphasize that the kidney is a very important organ of the body and losing one is likely to cause the other kidney’s function to decline rapidly.

According to Sina News, Hangzhou police investigated a “kidney factory” hidden in an ordinary neighborhood, where there were more than 30 donors, all young people in their 20s, many of whom sold their kidneys because they needed money urgently. The agent will often lie to lure the target to put down their guard, “Although people have two kidneys, but only one kidney is working, only after the age of 30 to activate the right kidney, the left kidney is not used, the surgery is cut off the used kidney, sell this kidney can solve the difficulties of life, 3 days after the surgery can get out of bed, 10 days to jump”, and Most of the people who want to sell their kidneys are convinced of this and regret it afterwards.

The report points out that the kidneys are very important organs of the body, responsible for blood filtration, excretion of metabolites, etc., and also secrete hormones to maintain physiological functions, two kidneys will be equally distributed “workload”, if one kidney is removed, the workload of the other kidney will be very large, need to work constantly, once it can not hold up will continue to damage. If one kidney is removed, the other kidney will have a heavy workload and need to work constantly. Although it is true that in a healthy situation, only one kidney can continue to live, but once the health problems, the remaining kidney is difficult to maintain the function, and I am afraid that it will bring completely irreversible consequences.

In addition to the kidney selling industry chain, “female egg donation” also has similar tactics, the agent will not explain the risks involved, only emphasize that “this is only a small surgery in the middle of the seventh or eighth, will not cause any health effects”, but the donor needs to administer drugs to promote ovulation Some people have been tricked into selling their eggs in underground hospitals and were eventually forced to have their entire ovaries removed to save their lives.
