Report: Israeli suspected of running Ukraine organ trafficking ring

The majority of Israelis are Jewish in one form or another and most Jews because of their Religious beliefs do not believe in Organ Donation. Jewish People who believe this way are not the only people who believe this way for Religious reasons by a long way however, Israel does have a large concentration of Jews as you would of course expect and that is exactly why it is problem. Having said that, I do not think that gives unscrupilious organ harvesters, doctors, or any other participants, Jewish or any other religion the right to go out and buy an organ for $10,000 from a poor man to sell to a rich one for $200,000 for the gift of life. Do you think you would look better bring the poor man to Israel and his family well, pay him the his, travel costs, his health care, make sure he is healthy when he leaves and pay him $100,000 to face his future in his homeland with one less kidney. How good both Israel and the Jewish Person who needed that Kidney would look. No longer would Israelis be organ traffickers, but a Country who truly cared not only for its own Jewish People, but for non-Jewish People willing to come to Israel to supply the organ to save an Israeli and Israel will see it is done safely and as humanely and kindly and with as much dignity to both people as possible.

If that's the case, it's a wonder they even have kidneys at all. I mean how many thousand s of years of existential angst can a kidney handle before it gives up? Their hearts have devolved to little lumps of coal, that much is certain..

It gives us Jews a bad name, many Jews are still facing criminal charges in New York for this, we have to stick to other form of trade this doesn't go well with public here in USA,

Weren't we all "anti-Semites" the last time Israelis got sprung for doing this?

Strange how this topic keeps coming up in Israel.

My YouTube video on kidney donation - thanks for watching! If you need more info - please feel free to contact me. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtZ7KModWRU Chaya Lipschutz KidneyMitzvah.com

deemed to be kosher? Does the donor need to pass a "Jewishness test?"

People in israel have contacted me that are in desperate need of a kidney. If you want to donate a kidney alturistically, please feel free to contact me. I donated a kidney to a stranger in 2005. Since my kidney donation, I have been wanting to do more - so I now have a project to help others in need of a kidney. I don't get paid for this and don't charge a fee. My brother donated a kidney as well - to someone on my list of people in need of a kidney.

this problem is a world-wide problem. a very big market are arabs in the gulf area which have one of the highest diabetes rate in the world , hence the a very high kidney failure rate. egypt was and probably still is a popular oragan market for these arabs. poor egyptians would sell a kidney not for 10 000 but for 2000 dollars. illegal clinics perform transplantations which are frequently lethal for donors and recipients. thte same is true for turkey and india, people selling organs for little money.but hardly anyone ever mentions these countries and their organ trade, it is as usually the "bad israel". :(

for absolutely every and any transplant it must be registered 1- the donor 2-the doctor and institution where the organ came from 3-the transport facilities 4-the final operation Doctor and establishment. 5-any and every infracton shoul be severly punished. there is no choice, once and for all we must erase this antropofagian crime

Did this traffickers had any good intention...i doubt it. Did they save hundreds of Lives....most certainly. Did they caused harm to anybody.... absolutely but i guess that the people that sold their organs were aware of the involved risks and agreed to the deal. 10,000 $ can also do a lot of good in a poor country and maybe even save some lives to. I am sure the people involved will be punished harshly but imagine you or one of your children is in need for a kidney..would you refuse it when it comes from the Ukraine or anywhere else ?

...if the Israeli government will now try and deport some of the receiving patient's in Israel because they are now slightly less than 100% Jewish.

About lifestyles that end up with kidney disease. Or maybe its just the tension and energy expense that comes of constantly feeling surrounded and misunderstood.

all of whom are obviously irrelevant

each one of us should know that we are responsible for each other and our actions reflect to all jews.

These stories are more damaging for Israel than a thousand Grad rockets

Is this related to last January's arrest of a Jewish organ harvester? Did he rat out the other members of his organization?
