From a student: Kidney thefts shock India. A clinic in Gurgaon, near Delhi, was raided and a kidney-selling operation was uncovered. Doctors target poor Indians with offers of $1000-2,500 for a kidney removal. Others were simply misled or kidnapped, and then forced to undergo the operation. Kidneys were then transplanted into waiting patients from India and abroad. See NYT [|article from January 30 here]
