Re: Organ transplants
Funny you should say that, Puddles.
I can't remember all the details now, but many years ago, a friend told me about someone she knew who's son had a kidney stolen.
Hard though it is to believe, she would not have lied to me.
He was drinking in some bar in London, and a couple of other blokes suddenly 'befriended' him.
He ended up going back to their hotel with them to carry on boozing.
It was thought they spiked his drink once they got him back there.
When he eventually woke up, he was sitting in a dry bath tub. There was a note stuck in front of him telling him to keep very still, not to try to get out of the bath, or summon help, else he was very likely to quickly bleed to death!!
Turned out he'd had a kidney stolen!
She said later there were other cases at the time as well.
It seems organs were being stolen to flog.
I never knew the outcome, or whether the men were caught.
