Need Cash Fast? Why Not Sell A Kidney On The Singapore Black ...

Under the current protocols in Singapore, organ donation is not entirely illegal, and the guidelines allow for close relatives of the recipient to donate. In the case of unrelated donors, the MOH makes a determination on a 'case by case' basis, depending on things such as medical emergency and the donor's motives (which cannot under any circumstances, be motivated by money or profit). So on June 17th, Sulaiman was brought before a private hospital's ethics commitee, at which time he purported to be a close relative of Mr Tang - he claimed that Mr Tang's niece was married to his aunt. He further claimed that by making the donation, he would achive no financial gain or payment for the kidney. These claims have later proven to be false. The second Indonesian convicted is known as Toni and is 27-years of age. He had already given his kidney to Ms Juliana Soh in March this year, for a payment of 186 million rupiah which he received upon his return to his home in Medan. He then acted as the 'go between' for Sulaiman and Mr Tang's transaction. He returned to Singapore to assist the former on May 29th. As the investigations have been unfolding, MOH have met the ethics panel of a particular unnamed private hospital, and some lawyers have been contacted by some of the people who have been assisting with police investigations, looking for legal counsel to act on their behalf. This seems to be a very strong indication that more people are likely to be charged under Hota. The cross-border blackmarket demand is seemingly quite large, with Dr Pary Sivaraman (consultant kidney and transplant physician at the Singapore Clinic for Kidney Diseases) stating that he gets at least two emails a week from foreign organ buyers looking for a donor, while also receiving emails from potential organ sellers (usually from Indonesia or India) advising their health condition, age, and placing a price on their 'offered kidney' - anywhere between US$10,000 to US$30,000.

I find it disturbing that the government is against the donor "profiting" from organ donation yet allows everyone else who has a part in the organ transplant process to charge exhorbitant rates. Where is their evolved altruism ?? Meanwhile, does forcing everyone to become a donar by default acceptable ? If one day I come home from a foreign nation minus a kidney, will I be arrested for giving away "the government's" property ? It never ceases to amaze me that what started out as a simple tool to share experiences with close family and friends, the Aussie Pete blog now draws some serious traffic from the globe over. The following are just some of the major news and media outlets that have recently quoted, interviewed or re-published content from Aussie Pete blog. Some also include articles regularly as a part of their daily news feeds.
