India's Kidney Trade

Image
The Illegal Organ Trade is Thriving. A recent excerpt from an article regarding the wealthy and donors. Unequal and unethical But many believe the factors driving organ trade in India are more complex. Vivekanand Jha, executive director of the George Institute of Global Health and professor of Nephrology at the University of Oxford, said it wasn’t always that a patient considered buying a kidney out of desperation. “In some instances there are rich people who have potential donors at home but they would prefer buying the kidney because they have the money and do not want to put their loved ones under the stress of donation,” he said. “It’s like saying it’s okay to steal if you don’t have it.” The Harvest Scar may be fiction but it could be a reality in other parts of the world. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-harvest-scar-cole-steele/1125413179?ean=2940157434939

Excerpt from the Harvest Scar

Image
The nurse gently rolled Molly out of the room and down the hallway to the waiting elevator. The surgical team was waiting for her in OR number 3 where she was wheeled inside.        A familiar pair of eyes behind a mask spoke with her.        Blake Bentley politely introduced the members of the surgical team that were going to be present during her procedure. Everyone seemed very pleasant and in a great mood.      A mask was fitted over her face and she considered the blue eyes that now stared down into hers, as he spoke to her in a soothing voice.        “Molly, I want you to count with me if you would. Start at the number ten working your way back to zero. Let me know when you have finished counting, all right? Ten … nine … eight …”      Her eyes fluttered lightly trying to keep up with the count, and then everything went completely dark and void of any...

The Illegal Harvesting of Human Organs

The Illegal Harvesting of Human Organs There have been many instances where organs have been taken from individuals under false pretenses.  Claims have been made in China regarding the harvesting of organs from some 11,000 political prisoners there.  It is estimated that there are only 37 people registered on donor lists in China yet they have the second highest rate of transplants in the world. Although the Harvest Scar is fiction its events could seemingly be played out somewhere in the world. Here is an excerpt from "The Harvest Scar". The nurse gently rolled Molly out of the room and down the hallway to the waiting elevator. The surgical team was waiting for her in OR number 3 where she was wheeled inside.        A familiar pair of eyes behind a mask spoke with her.        Blake Bentley politely introduced the members of the surgical team that were going to be present during her procedure.

Human Trafficking The Black Market Organ Harvesting

Image
HUMAN TRAFFICKING THE BLACK MARKET ORGAN HARVESTING The harvesting of human organs along with the illegal sale are not tales of fiction.  They actually occur in our modern world.  Several instances have been reported and cases even prosecuted in the United States. My current novel "The Harvest Scar" is fiction but could very well be a reality somewhere on the planet.  Many victims have been either duped out of their healthy organs or simply been murdered for them.  The sale of illegal organs on the Black Market is a lucrative business.  The human body along with its organs and skin could be pieced out and sold for a total of upwards of $810,000.00 US dollars. Many countries prohibit the sale of ones kidneys for profit.  This does not in any way stop medical tourism nor illegal brokers who serve this illicit market. https://www.decodedscience.org/organ-harvesting-human-trafficking-black-market/56966 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_trade h...

2017 GOALS AMBITIONS DREAMS PLEDGES PROMISES NEVER TO LATE THE YEAR HAS JUST BEGUN! My goal in 2016 was to publish "The Harvest Scar". My goal in 2017 is to publish "Beneath Devils Lake". My Ambitions, Dreams, Pledges, and Promises in 2016 were interwoven. 2017 finds the same.  I want to entertain with writing. So much in fact that nothing gives me greater satisfaction from someone reading my latest Novel "The Harvest Scar".  Later remarking after turning the last page saying "When is the next one coming out?"
