If this woman is telling the truth and going to all these places she got bigger balls than anybody period.
I was looking for the right words, but you said it.
Telling the truth? You think this is new?
Ikr ! At this point who knows of this is true or not
@@Milkymilk07it is true its just barely getting talked about…
What do you mean IF ? Apparently you need to pay better attention she's been doing this for years. (Reporting on very delicate subjects)
This is where the quote “no one’s against you, everyone’s just for themselves” really comes into play.
so true
Well yes, but also no, because if someone is for themselves then they could turn against you in order to achieve the thing they want for themselves. The quote is a bit contradictory, or is at least leaving out the difference between self-preservation and selfishness.
If everyone is out for themselves then everyone is against you unless they're after different resources. Other humans are your competition for just about everything.
Humanity is capable of every dark thing you can imagine
Sadly
Sad but true
Indeed , if a mother is capable of killing her own baby in her . Nothing else suprises me really . I expect it nothing less. Epecially if its strangers . I imagine most are migrats ... sad.
. Tragic ...
Even the Bible states there is nothing new under the sun, everything going on nowadays is the same things that went on in the ancient days.
MONEY IS EVERYTHING AND PLZZ DON'T COMING TO SAY ISN'T IMPORTANT CUZ IT'S 😂😂
ISN'T IMPORTANT BUT LIVING BESIDE YOUR LUNGS AND AIR 😅
Every one who is healthy in a free, safe, democratic and prosperous country should be grateful after watching this documentary.
So not America ?
that's America @@mdm032
@@nono_romhoeno it’s not. We’re taxed to starvation to give our money to other countries.
Even tho malaysia is still a developed country but im so grateful 🥺
That's too many points... I would argue that your first point is already kind of enough - healthy... (i am coming from a country that is not democratic and prosperous but am still very grateful)
My cousin is a physician assistant at a large hospital and she had a patient that went to Mexico for a mommy makeover and found out that the surgeon removed one of her kidneys.
thats horrible and terrifying - wow
I do not believe your statement. Sounds like - I knew a guy...
Well is Mexico!!!
Yup happens in Mexico all the time
@@PrincessBella22 "well is Mexico" ??... really princess Bella?
Hate to say it but the organ traffickers agreed to talk because this meant advertising for potential clients who may not be aware of these "services"
yup!
Those were my thoughts as soon as they started rambling. Makes you wonder if this entire documentary is for advertisement. You never know
this exactly its gross@@breakitup5274
Gotta be honest, it got me thinking hava
...meh? They are not making any names. You know it's some cartel and that's it. If a guy want to have a black market organ would probably end up at the competitor cartel of those that have been interviewed. Not a smart and effective marketing strategy. They probably agreed to be interviewed because of some kind of payment offered by National Geographic
I’m actually really shocked all these people are willing to be interviewed
Fake lol
its a drama, actors. but she paid them to play the part. word gets around and 1000 will be in line to chat up the same BS.
Exactly, I believe they are being paid so they lie for the money.
They agreed since it's also a way to advertise themselves. Henceforth, you know where to go
because they are paid actors .
I donated a kidney and never even thought about getting money for it. She’s still doing well, after 13 years. ❤
May God bless you 🌷
Yea YOU didn't get paid for it, but I promise you that hospital & doctors did. Between $400,000 to $500,000 to be exact. But yea, God bless you for your heroic gesture & generosity.
The people these organs come from don't get money, either. They get death. But the doctors and everyone else involved get the money.
People selling kidneys is like those who sell blood. Poor economic structures in those types of places are the cause for that. Especially since we all know we can survive with one kidney. So yeah, if it comes down to your kids getting a meal for a few months I bet you'll think differently. It happens.
That's good to hear. My mom has kidney disease stage 4 so I'm donating mine soon. Glad to hear it'll last so long
Growing up in Mexico City, my parents were constantly reminding me of these type of dangers. Stories here and there of people being drugged and waking up without an organ were pretty well known. That’s why you were always told to not put “organ donor” in your DL since that would be another way how they would identify the victims. I’m almost 30 and I’ve been hearing about this since I was in middle school. It’s absolutely insane how we still know nothing about this.
Im in America (Texas) and my mom told me to NEVER put "Organ Donor" in my Drivers License. She has also stopped an 18 year old boy at the DMV (total stranger) from doing so.
My sister's husband is from Mexico,and I've heard similar stories. His father was murder3d and they were taking every penny they could, until they couldn't
So the cartels are checking drivers licenses for the little dot? This video ends by saying there needs to be a legit organ market for the illegal trade to stop. But this comment is saying don't donate organs through the legal channels.
@@tonality531 "So the cartels are checking drivers license for the little dot??"
Its the HOSPITALS
and the EMT
@@tonality531 it’s not that the cartel is checking for the dot, but if you are a donor, the chances of drawing attention to yourself are higher. It could also mean that EMTs and medical professionals could have an incentive to not save you if they see that you’re a donor. Every industry in Mexico has been heavily corrupted and there’s signs of organized crime everywhere. They mentioned it here, the ones choosing the victims are legitimate doctors. They probably check your DL. You think these people care if you’ll be able to live happily ever after with your new organ? The health or quality of the organ is irrelevant to them.
She is the only 100% honest reporter in the industry right now and protects identity of the people she has on her reports. She is straight unbyus on who she interacts with.
Unbiased
Those organs would have to be shipped by plane. obviously if people use common sense, but common sense isn't common as they say.
Well look at whose she's dealing with. Idk she has much of a choice.
She protects their identity because it also protects her, so they don’t come after her.
Also, this documentary, in a way, serves as advertisement so that’s why these masked people are willing to talk.
wow….
Believe it or not, organs aren’t the worst items being trafficked across borders. Children are more valuable and you don’t even want to know what happens to them.
Right 😞😞😞
%100 children are the upmost important.
Adrenochrome
Agree
then some of those poor innocent kids grow up to do the same. so sad💔
Mariana & her crew have the biggest balls in the universe!! What a magnificent class of journalism! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was born in Mexico City, and I, 100%, believe what is presented in this documentary. Mariana is so brave.
Every documentary I see this reporter in she's always in some insanely dangerous situations, mad respect to her for putting herself at risk to bring us these important stories. 👍👍👍
May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
True.
She's very brave. She also has a husband and son.
I’m sitting up here wondering like is NatGeo protecting her ? Like what is going on lol
Feel like a lot is staged
She is a real one.
When I was growing up in Chihuahua, Mexico, in 2009, I remember many young people going missing (Although there are always people going missing). Around this time, the news posted their faces in the stores. Weeks after their disappearance, they would find bodies lying around the mountains and parks. They would come to find that they were opened up, and their organs were gone. In the Mexican news, they would report about the disappearances and how the bodies were found, although they did not disclose any more details. Once that happened for a couple months, they would post on the news that the police had shut down an organ harvesting base in a city in the state of Chihuahua. I was so small when I heard about this; I was 7 years old. People would always talk about the disappearances, and I cannot imagine the pain of the family members who had their families taken and killed.
I worked in Juarez Chihuahua when a lot of women started to disappear God protected me.
@@evapena3746 You are very lucky/blessed. I remember well the mass disappearances of women and girls down there and wonder if it's still going on. I think I got my answer 😥
God bless this woman she has the courage to interview this evil people the entire interview I feared for her
I live in the US and have seriously considered selling a kidney. I’m not surprised at all that it is such a large illegal market. When you and your kids are hungry and facing a cold, homeless winter - it’s amazing the things you are willing to do.
It’s definitely much more disturbing to think about other/ more vital organs being stolen from living people
there is resources in the US alot of them and charityies giving food and clothes for absolutley nothing in return.....llol
I’ve also really wished I could sell my kidney. Was homeless for a few years. There are very few places that actually help. ALSO harvesting absolutely also happens in the US. You’ll never catch me checking organ donor on my ID though.
@@fatimasaleh8361If youre homeless you need shelter which is almost impossible to get!

My jaw dropped as I learned Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION. It is a shockingly sad truth 😔
"We're still here .... We are not going anywhere." - Native Americans 😔
Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population.
- Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia."
- The 'land grab' is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region.😔
- No doubt, greed is a major driving force behind Genocide, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization.
- By the way, many thanks for the informative multi-pages comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle"., that I've learnt a heck of a whole lot more about the plights of Native Americans than I've ever known my entire life.
@@hellyeah7403keep in mind, some of the indigenous groups in the Americas sided with Europeans, such as the French, the Spanish, and the British because they were warring with other indigenous tribes. No, I'm not denying the terrible things the Europeans did. It all happened. Many indigenous American groups fought with each other, took each other's lands, and enslaved each other too. The Apache and Commanche tribes were a prime example. The Cherokee tribe owned African slaves. The "Aztecs" lost power because many neighboring indigenous groups didn't like them, and sided with the Spanish. Heck, the Aztecs had a tower of skulls comprised of women and children, warriors where Mexico City is today. Not exactly the most peaceful group either.
"Native Americans, and their population in the Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 million, while the European population in Europe was around 25 million.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION."
For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived.
I agree, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
True, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is this another notorious Colonization still lingering on. 😔🤷

The mention of Colombia triggers me so much!
My brother was human trafficked and luckily I was able to rescue him based on my wit and unconditional love for him. Please be careful when traveling abroad! The embassy cannot help at all and you are at the mercy of the local authorities.
Do you mind sharing the story? That’s insane that that happened!!
Share this story
Share!
please share your story if you are comfortable!
Please share the story!
So proud that this amazing investigative reporter is Portuguese! She's the best in the world at this. Mariana és fenomenal!
This was incredibly interesting. What a badass that lady is for putting herself in danger for the story. She's very likable. I could have kept watching.
Maybe they have protection by cartels who they interviewed in the past. That's the only logical explanation that comes to my mind, but still, to put your life on the line like that.. can't imagine how bad the ptsd must be after these experiences 🤯
Lets all gather here those representing Nairobi Kenya and give Mariana van Zeller her well deserved flowers and Nat Geo crew for these mind blowing exposes..
I could sense that man’s pain that lost his family in Haitis earthquake. So cool to see a Haitian speak Spanish.
A lot of them do because of the Dominican Republic being next right to them where they trade with and cross,etc
Yeah it's pretty rare especially for haitian immigrants. They are treated horribly by the mexicans running the boats from guatemala into mexico for example. They don't understand spanish and tge types running the crossings can be pretty racist and openly brutal about it especially because they know most haitians don't speak spanish. Not that they could do anything about it if they understood.
@@freelancehuman.majority of Haitians speak Creole, Spanish, French and English.
THIS is real journalism!!!
Deshuesador quite literally translates to the bone remover…. 💀 this lady has balls of steel to be meeting these people.
36:42 That doctor LAUGHED when he confirmed that usually the patients die right there. I kept rewatching it. He tried to stifle it but his mask slipped and his cheek gave it away. That's wild. You know he's a part of the underground and fully enjoys it.
Felt like the laugh was cuz she asked an obvi question like come on of course lady wdyt 🧐
i think he just laughed because it was an obvious answer
And that's why I haven't gone
to the doctor in many years,
specially inforeign countries
Don't think he's smiling, seemed more of a nervous tick to me
The problem is that there just isn't enough organs for people to go about it the right way. I live in 1 of 2 canadian provinces that implemented a law that if you are an adult, if you pass away you automatically consent to organ donation unless you opt out prior. It still gives people the freedom to choose while allowing others who may not have ever considered donating to be able to help someone else.
this is the way to go
That is *"a"* problem, but not *"the"* problem. There are so many factors: rich/poor countries, overpopulation/underpopulation, individual greed and selfishness, bad luck, no regard for human life, bad lifestyle choices (especially for livers), etc., etc.
Nothing but respect for this reporter.
I can’t agree enough that this world needs to come to an end. It’s sickening to know how cruel this world can be.
That’s because this is purgatory where you are being judged
cringe cope@@Alexis_005
Trust me it will. And this time I won't stop it. Humanity has become too evil and too ungrateful for me to care anymore.
@Alexis_005, can you please explain to me what you mean that we're in purgatory
@@billzjr222what do you mean this time? Did you stop the world being ended in a previous life or something
love seeing a mariana investigation she's the best
Only regular people have to wait years on the list, I’m sure a billionaire won’t have to wait no less than 48 hours
Absolutely, money talks
Actually such crimes are influenced by people with money, if it was so we wouldn't have such organ harvesting!
That's the cause of the problem!!!!
2.600 billionaires in the world on 2023.
The world population is 7.000.000.000
Do you think is there a statistic on something so rare like organ transplant?
You just hate money and money will hate you. Assuming something without any data and any common sense, just to blame someone…
We will fix this problem with bioengineering and maybe some billionaires foundation will contribute much more than you…
@@Dr.SuppMaster keep licking the boots of people that keep you being a slave for their corporations. They are the ones killing you. They do nothing if there’s not profit for them. They would kill you in an instant if it was for them. You will NEVER be like them. Remember there’s NOT ethical way of becoming a billionaire. Someone has to die for it
World class journalist. Thank you.
Mariana really is a fantastic journalist with great insight on showing the entire story.
"How can I know if you are telling the truth?"
- TAKES OUT HIS KNIFE.
My answer for the last question is NO, I WOULD NEVER DO THAT. I WOULD RATHER DIE than deprive someone of their lives in such a brutal and painful way. Those who get transplanted illegally will have the correspondent consequences some day. Don’t ever think you’ll get sth for free, especially at the expense of others’ pain
Someone in my area (northern Germany) went to Amsterdam with his soccer team and returned short by one kidney. I don’t know just how much truth is to the story but I don’t see a reason to make this up. I always thought this kind of stuff only happened far away from me, but nope. The world is a scary place.
she’s so bold for this. wow.
BOLD AND DUMB FOR TAKING THESE RISK BUT BRAVE YES
@@leelunk8235may I ask why they allow to be recorded? And know that she won’t tell on them? Like they allow her to question?
@@SamiraLopez20 NOT SURE, BUT IN TODAYS WORLD, THAT REPORTER IS A FOOL, BUT SHE SIGNED UP FOR HAZARD PAY, BUT ONCE YOU'RE DEAD, YOU AINT GETTING HAZARD PAY
Props to this lady and her team for their courage to face such a country and those people especially those murders .. they must have been terrified going there …
I m from Romania… we had in a private clinic in Cluj this situation for years… The doctor worked at the public Hospital and he has a private clinic…where the patients are redirected for “selling offer”… At the end,when the kidney was out,the “donnor” recive a very small amount…
Definitely wouldnt go to Mexico for all the plastic surgeries. They have all your medical info and if you're a match then you've paid and so has the customer. I could see that happening a lot
Agreed.
This girl got her BBL done in Mexico and she found out later she’s missing a kidney…
@@kattbrown4228how would she barely find out wouldn’t she feel the stitches right there
@@CaramelnapkinBBL would have bruised, sored with lots of stitches of course not gonna notice until body is almost healed.
If the price is too good to be true.... , u get what u pay for
Much respect for this lady. She has some huge 🥚🥚to do this documentary, interview this people and watched that video. Wow, just wow! 👏
Thank you Mariana for the excellent investigations and interviews. I can not imagine when people are in these situations of saving their life or providing money to their family - just the extent their will go. Brings up a lot of questions.
can be inferred that the public security is so poor that these people can talk about their sinister actions loudly without worrying about punishment.
kind of yeah, but in Mexico the gangs and cartels are much stronger than the police without a question. The police are not gonna risk getting their families skinned and burned for even barely interfering with the cartel. so as long as you side with the cartel and don't snitch you can say anything and the police can't really do much. Unfortunately Mexico could never control their cartels, its like if a random Chicago gang was more influential than the army.
And also that this documentary serves as advertisement
Perhaps human beings cling to this world, this life, way more than they should. Especially in certain countries, the desire to live forever is a growing thing, and people will do anything, anything, to try to get that. A better question, for me, is, why are people's organs failing so frequently?
As someone who has done organ procurement procedures, this is beyond twisted. Unfathomable.
Nothing new 😂
Whoa that was so intense. Mariana has nerves of steel!!
Yeah she gets paid very well. It’s a job. Someone has to do it
Meh, nerves of steel would've took her to the belly of the beast in china but not a second there
Bold, courageous, fearless to have had this video taken.
The participants needs a greater token that is BIGGER THAN LIFE
As someone who works for the Organ Procurement Organization here in my state, this is so disturbing and so wrong on every level 😮
You guys are part of the problem too though practically created this market. John Oliver revealed your incompetency
I thought it was wrong when I read a banker had about 7 heart transplants.
@@lilypoppy1962Same with the owner of Salon 313 in Marietta GA 😢 he's been through a bunch of heart transplants
She definitely got an angel around her protecting her all the way!!
I don't see anything wrong with buying an organ if a person is willing to sell it. I see something wrong if you have a surgery in a different country and the doctor steals your organ and you had no authority in its removal.
I agree
I think the person buying has to be aware to a certain extent of the kind of organs they're buying and how they are harvested. Like if you couldn't find one in your country and have to go through the black market, what are the chances that you are buying an organ that was safely removed from someone? What makes you sure that this person didn't undergo dangerous surgery or was ACTUALLY willing to sell/donate their organ
Heck yeah miss seeing these types of videos especially with this Journalist
Amen! Love her!
We need more like Mariana Van Zeller.
This lady stays calm while asking questions I would even think of asking .. I would never put myself in that situation intentionally.
This woman is absolutely amazing! She is always in dangerous situations that I couldn't even imagine. These stories are insane!😊
Well done interview.
This is a very impressive and brave woman. She is interviewing the most dangerous criminals and cartels. Respect ✊
Respect for bringing these topics to light.
I’ve heard of Americans that go abroad for cheaper surgery, and wake up with multiple incisions and a missing organ.
Omg 😱
True! This girl got her bbl done in Mexico and came back with a missing kidney
It's crazy how some people are willing to pay to stop suffering through the suffering of others.
That’s crazy. You’re basically trying to defy your fate. Because if your kidney fails your days are counted. So you rather take someone else’s life to continue living yours😐. It’s a hard position to be in. In the end we’re all going to die but I think waiting and hoping for the best is the humble & morally correct thing to do. Choosing other wise is starting to fuel a very gruesome industry and creating a very egotistical humanity with lack of compassion.
I agree 💯. Just transition like everyone else. We are all gonna die eventually anyway. Robbing people of their life. That's so messed up.
They´re really stupid. We´re not made
to be walking around with someone
elses's irgans in our body.. The truth
is many transplant recipients have a
poor quality of life and die not long
after having received the organ/s
But there is Different ways to look at it too
@@venom5552111not really
It’s crazy how people think coming to the United States is an easy alternative. They cling on to the hope and only envision traveling over to the us as their only solution. Blinding them to how they’re wasting their own time by just waiting as well. Like by the Mexican border. Life in the US and anywhere else can be just as hard,
Tbh- some people come over cause they don’t have any other choice. The US can be seen as a safe haven for them. It’s not an easy choice for them- but the best choice.
But that’s my opinion idk 🤷🏽♀️ you know ?
(But I do agree- life is hard no matter where you go ^)
What Marina reports on it pretty amazing, scary and dangerous. I have a great amount of respect for her and her reporting. But this story, as shocking as her story's are, this by far on the top of the list. I love her reporting. A very driven woman that seems to have questions about everything dangerous. Thank you, and be safe !
Mariana always doing the most interesting interviews.
Thus should have millions of views.
Why? Weirdo
100% happens all over the world 🌎
Kidney transplant patient here. I’ve had chronic kidney disease since I was 9.
First guy is correct but not 100%
Living kidney donor can at least last til 10 yrs (more if lucky)
Diseased donor can last at least 5 year (more if lucky)
Also, when you get blood transfusions and a kidney transplant, that can be extremely hard to receive another kidney because of how many antibodies you have created in your body for the 1st transplant and any blood transfusions.
People don’t know all the facts until you find it out because you’re going through it. :)
There’s so much information about the kidney donations and different dialysis.
If you can, donate! :)
I am from Italy and just discovered about the illegal traffick of organs thanks to our nanny, who’s from El Salvador.
She claims her family had to pay for crossing Mexico and still didn’t know if they would safely reach the US.
That is why she moved to Italy, where atrocities like these don’t exist.
Or don’t exist yet.
This reporter is extraordinarily brave.
This lady has to be out of her mind to go down to Columbia to go do the story. She’s lucky she came out alive.
😂 it's COLOMBIA no COLUMBIA. It's not as dangerous as she wants to imply. but she sells the documentary by feeding the ignorance of others.
Not all places in Colombia are dangerous
Mariana , u r a very brave woman. U r doing a great Social Service by helping spread the knowledge. May God Bless u.🙂
I wish someone would look into the foster care system in the U.S. and how cps colludes with these big hospitals. Keeping in mind how may organs require a patient to be on a vent. The Kowalski vs Johns Hopkins case currently going on is exposing the system but only to an extent.
That be a good one
is there a video on this?
@@solm.6184 The Kowalski case? Yes, there us even a Netflix documentary
CPS is too decentralized, have terrible hiring policies, not enough funding, and pay terrible wages while requiring a higher education.
CPS is meant to protect children, but in many cases they have caused these children tremendous harm
She's really brave to do this documentary. I love this!
HOW DOES SHE SURVIVE?? Why do they WANT to talk to her?
Great interview thanks for doing this and making us aware
A tip for all, stay out of dark alleys.Mariana should have gotten a lead earlier before deciding to track these people down. 200,000.00 for a kidney? Shes lucky she and her team member got out of there alive. Holy cow, the price has jumped since I found out about it years ago. I think it was 60-70,000.00.
Mariana never fails. 👏
She has balls of steel! I wouldve been scared that the dr would cut me open right there! ! Ive heard Chicago and Vegas is known for black market donors! Unimaginable! We live in a fallen world for sure
But God✝️
Chicago?
Everyone Will Have Judgement Day Either If They Like It Or Not, My God Have Mercy On These Souls
Respect for the reporter and the policeman. Few like him are alive today
She is incredibly brave
Humans are one of the most inhumane species that exists today.
Mariana&team....pls take care...wish you safe and all the best❤❤❤. Thank you
Imagine in the worst part of the world where you don't even have a birth certificate.
Yea no prison number awesome
The guy at the end was given the option of additional parts, he bought them, and he darn well knows if he has a portion or a fully-functioning pancreas or not... He would be on certain meds and he would have other body maintenance requirements.
This is very well-done at great risk to Mariana. The depths of human nature and its behavior are endless.
I watched the documentary called Eyes of the Devil and it talks about organ harvesting and it’s sickening what that documentary reveals.
I’m going to look into this documentary.
Thanks
Nothing new
Intense! Great doc, she’s fantastic
This documentary is behind on the times, seen a documentary almost a decade ago that busted this wide open and also the hospitals who aren't asking any questions in the US when organs turn up for the patient, never asking "how" and fulfilling the surgery most times. Then there was suggestions that some surgeons themselves were also in on it as far as being paid as well to keep it quite because these are very expensive surgeries for the patient and most of the clientele was very rich men\women and most organs were coming way farther than South America but from Manilla where a good chunk of the population have sold their kidneys. This is old news so idk why she is acting like they can't get an organ from South America to the US in two days because they are coming from all over the world within hours to some of our most renown transplant hospitals. Thing is it's something that can't be sloppy and usually there are helicopters that fly this as their cargo on their regular trips doing other things but are paid well to have a few organs in their cargo space. It's been understood for quite some time but that old documentary showed just how corrupt the hospitals, surgeons and dying patients are when these surgeries are carried out in the US. Even non citizens (rich) are coming to US hospitals to have these transplant surgeries carried out. It's insanity and most of these organs coming from Asia. I will try to find that documentary if it hasn't been nixxed by TpTB over the past decade but it was eye opening and the reporter was one of the first whistle blowers to come with names, places and actually followed the patient even after they got the transplant and documented the entire process. He even got to talk to some of the surgeons on both sides of the world (real and black market). It was kind blowing seeing it for first time because it's something you know has always happened (since medically we've been able to transplant) but you could never imagine just how corrupt and what upstanding citizens are aware and are in on it in some fashion of the process.
Omg plz find it !! I wanna watch it
😮 Omg! Find that documentary
Plz find it 🙏
If I buy a house, the underwriters wanna know everything about everything. Seems like there should be laws in place forcing these questions. Im sure they would just fake the paperwork but at least there would be a paper trail.
Lmk on the name of this documentary!!!
Thanks for reporting this topic. You and your assistants are brave.
You are the bravest woman I ever seen in my life😯
thats some great content on all levels visual included, thanx
As always, in the USA is where most of the drugs are sold, same for organs and other forms of trafficking. If there were no demands, these issues wouldn’t happen. 🤷🏽♀️
Maybe because the USA has a big population and an economy stronger than the global average. And in the usa the media makes these type of reports and documentaries more frequently about whats going on there than the rest of the world (I am not even american)
💯
not really this is a cop out to the problem you can say this for every industry
The "Wrecker" is one sick m'fr!!
It's like the trafickers are sending a message, more like an ' advertisement '😢
The hug she gave to the Haitian guy, she’s really concerned
I think this doctor is being forced to do this because of threats made to him and his family. I can’t imagine a doctor that is wealthy already, go seek this out willingly.
Greed
@@hearanecho if it was greed , doctor would be running the operation (more money). the ones running it, are the mafia people. They need the doctor… doctor doesn’t necessarily need them.
Yup knows tho
These doctors are targeted from the most terrifying cartels and gangs around the world. They will make someone do something without even asking and simply use their families as collateral if they do not follow through.
lol. Cause there’s no such thing as bad doctors. There was a doctor in the US aborting babies at 8-9 months (murdering babies) for money. No one was threatening him.
She is brave I would be scared they would take my kidneys!
Excellent interview
I remember those early internet tales, some tourist in a bar, had a drink with some friendly locals....hours later woke up in a bathtub filled with ice, a card with the instructions to call emergency number (911 etc) for help...
Whoa !!!!😮
I remember that tale in high school. It was going around. Now I know it’s true 😢
@@frenchtoast7742 Urban Legend.
Yeah, except nowadays they don’t bother with the ice or instructions for 911 😳😆🫣

Whats weird about the person who paid for a pancreas is that if hes a type one the body will eventually attack the beta cells again, rendering him a diabetic again. Secondly, diabetes is easily managed by insulin and significantly cheaper that what he paid for the organ. This seemed very wasteful to do when diabetes can be managed and the fact that his body can attack the cells again. Even ifs hes not a diabetic you dont need a pancreas to survive as long as you have insulin.
This lady is so brave
Courageous journalism!!!
After finishing the documentary, I was also thinking that a legal market, mandated by the government, both in process and payout, would make a dent in the cartels that specializes in organ trading. Through looking online people state with this question on "oh it can be exploited, oh it will hunt down impoverished people, disabled parents/children, etc." but what if it cannot be exploited, what if instead of signing up for your organs to be paid out when you die is much a more rigorous process than the easy process of donating?
There are many options that can be explored to ensure that the organ sold by a person that is either healthy or recently died, that absolutely consented to it. No incapacitated person or power of attorney/conservatorship/third parties that have power over the person, are allowed to sign up for organs being sold.
Legalized organ trading can and would snub those in the black market. Applies to drugs as well, if you have it legalized, it will be supervised, allow addicts to be open to recover, cut down deaths, cut down addicts as well (see Portugal), and put a halt to criminals dealing in it. It's proof in the pudding when we first had the Prohibition era, there's a good reason why alcohol no longer illegal now (not including dry states but that's a whole nother discussion).
