Kidney for Sale

It is time to introduce compensation for kidney donors. If we don't, we will continue to face a dual tragedy: thousands of patients who die each year for want of a kidney, and a human-rights disaster in which corrupt brokers deceive indigent donors about the nature of surgery, cheat them out of payment, and ignore their post-surgical needs.

NEW HAVEN – World Kidney Day, to be held on March 12, is part of a global health campaign meant to alert us to the impact of kidney disease. Sadly, there is little to celebrate.
