Questions and answers

Part IV

TRADE IN HUMANS has been gaining momentum and includes transporting illegal immigrants to their destinations, procuring women for prostitution, hiring people for slave labor, acquiring household servants from developing countries, and selling children for illegal adoption for enormous sums.

There are adequate laws to prevent such crimes, and their stringency matches the transparency of state frontiers. However, the problem of trade in human beings is gaining a new aspect as large numbers of Third World inhabitants seek to immigrate to relatively more prosperous countries.

For the most part, the flow of illegal immigrants to developed countries is controlled by the underworld. Ordinarily, these people fail to find jobs and join marginal groups who are exploited and forced into crimes and disturbances.

TRADE IN HUMAN ORGANS. The first transplantation of the kidney is known to have taken place in 1954, of the lungs in 1963, and of the heart in 1967. Nearly half a million kidney transplantations have been carried out to date. Transplantation of body organs as a branch of medicine has given rise to an industry that supplies donor organs. The United States has about 70 organ-supplying agencies, and state and federal authorities are trying to regulate their activities.

There are some 12,000 potential in the United States. As this is much fewer than the number needed, illegal businesses that supply organs for transplantation are highly lucrative; a great many of them are based in Third World countries. "Donors" often commit murder for the sake of organs, or they get organs from children of poor families who sell this "commodity" for a pittance.

After the appearance of the first world press reports exposing illegal trade in human organs, a number of countries set up special commissions to draft laws that would regulate the acquisition of transplantation organs. There is sufficient evidence to prove that the delivery of organs from the Third World is controlled by criminal groupings based in Western Europe.

Часть 4

ТОРГОВЛЯ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКИМИ ОРГАНАМИ. Первая пересадка почки, как известно, произошла в 1954, легких в 1963, и сердца в 1967. Почти полмиллиона пересадок почек было выполнено до настоящего времени. Трансплантация органов тела, как отрасль медицины дала начало промышленности, которая поставляет донорские органы. У Соединенных Штатов есть приблизительно 70 органо-поставляющих агентств, а государственные органы и федеральные власти пытаются регулировать их действия.

В Соединенных Штатах есть приблизительно 12,000 потенциальных доноров. Так как это намного меньше, чем число необходимых доноров, то нелегальный бизнес по поставке органов для трансплантации становится очень прибыльным; большинство из них базируются в Странах третьего мира. "Доноры" часто совершают убийства ради забора органов, либо они получают органы от детей из бедных семей, которые продают этот "товар" за гроши.
