I'll trade you a kidney for a tractor
In a little stranger news, a report coming out of Pakistan says a man convinced doctors to remove his wife’s kidney in order to buy a tractor from the proceeds.
Organ donation remains unregulated in Pakistan and transplant specialists estimate that between 4,000 and 5,000 live kidneys are sold in Pakistan every year.
Evidently, she discovered the missing kidney when she was being evaluated for an unrelated problem. She confronted her husband and found he received $1100 for the kidney and used it to buy the tractor.
The case is under investigation and he could face up to 10 years in prison, but evidently, it will make a difference on if it happened before or after they were married.
