What does organs traffic mean?
It is a clandestine traffic that mutilates human beings, causing them much pain, if not death. There is also a trafficking of organs extracted to corpses of those who has recently died. Kidneys, heart, lungs, eyes, cornea, skin, pancreas, intestines, etc are extracted, which generate a "black market" of increasingly rising organs. For three decades, the problem of organ trafficking has been on the agenda of the World Health Organization (WHO), and unfortunately, it is a problem which will still raising on our modern society, specifically in undeveloped countries.

Real cases:
It has recently been found in China the case of a 6-year-old boy who was found alone crying in a field. Upon further investigations, Chinese police discovered that both his eyes had been removed, presumably for taking his corneas.
Kendrick Johnson, a Georgian teen, died at school January 2013, as a consequence of what at a first glanced looked as a freak accident. Nevertheless, after a while and as a consequence of his parents insistence on getting his body exhumed, two terrifying facts were found. Firstly, what the pathologist founded first was that the corpse had suffered the extraction of its brain, heart, lungs and liver. This was not the only thing that stunned the exhumer. After further investigation, he could discover that the real reason of his death was not an accident. Instead, his death was due to a blunt force trauma to the right side of his neck.
