Buying Organs on the Black Market | The Business of Crime

The Black Market Organ Harvesting is a rampant trade in human organs, involving collusion between organised criminals and corrupt doctors, police and medical administration staff. We dive into the body trade and see the ways it operates and the risks involved for the desperate people at both ends of the deal, in what is an unregulated and often perilous market.

In The Business of Crime, VICE World News looks at different parts of the criminal economy, separating fact from myth. In this episode, we find out the reality of the black market body trade.
