Organ trade

Organ trade is the trade in human organs, tissues or other parts of the body for transplantation to another person. There is a global need or increased demand for healthy human organs to grow, far beyond the available members.
There are about 90,000 people waiting to get a new member in the United States. On average, an individual has to wait three and a half years to get a member available for farming. However, there is a global shortage of organs available for transplantation. Trafficking in human organs is illegal in all countries except Iran. However, the legal status of organ trade is changing around the world. For example, in 2013, Australia and Singapore have ratified a law that allows organ transplants.
Trafficking in human organs is illegal in many jurisdictions for various reasons, although such trade is widespread, as is the case with organ transplant tourism (the travel of tourists to a country for transplants to circumvent the law). It remains difficult to obtain data on the spread of this black market. There is considerable controversy over the question of regulating and regulating organ trade to combat illegal trafficking.
