CONSIDERAŢII PRIVIND TRAFICUL DE ORGANE, ŢESUTURI ŞI CELULE UMANE

Summary/Abstract: Organ transplant medicine is an incredible life-saving technology, under the right circumstances. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of available organs, a new crime of the 21st century, organ trafficking, is supplying organs to people with money, to pay big dough for a new life. Organ trafficking violates fundamental human rights, but the issues stay under the radar, the police and other authorities who are in a position to act are not taking the issue seriously. Due to the fact that trafficking networks operate internally as well as internationally, organ trafficking is considered a transnational crime, of which prevention and control has become a difficult task, if not impossible. The problem of organ trafficking is widespread, although data on the exact scale of the organ market is difficult to obtain. Whether legalized or not organ trade, or finding appropriate way to combat illegal trafficking, is a subject of too much debate.
