Origins: Demand Dilemma

We have been talking about Organ Trafficking, we have been publishing some stadistics and recent news, but the best way for understanding this phenomenon is to know how did it start? How was that a great medical and technological advance for humanity suffer a transition to a horrible way of loosing body parts?

During the 1950's, organ transplantation was settled as an experimental surgical procedure. Since that very decade , transplants among people were developed and improved converting themselves in a very benefical procedures for human race. It was the chance of donating and receiving life, the chance of creating selfless love between individuals... The bad side came when selfish and clever people realised how benefical for themselves would be to open a Black Market which goal is to supply body parts.

As we know, trade existance depends directly in its demand; if there's no demand, there's no market... Then we DO have a demand in Organ Trafficking. Constantly, people who need an organ must wait in a list, probably is not very efficient but it is fair, what happens when that people cannot wait (or does not want to wait) and have the economic resources for paying any monetary quantity? Now we have the demand.

We'll talk about the supply in another entry, meanwhile we'll give you some stadistics about organ's waiting list just in Mexico: http://www.organtraffickingdilemmamexico/trasplante_estadisticas.html
