Hospital in South Africa Performs Illegal Kidney Transplants

_49126727_sa2010.gifHeres an article that I read about a medical group known as Netcare who runs 50 hospitals in South Africa, who performed illegal kidney transplants. The medical group would actually fly underprivileged  people out from places like Brazil and pay them money to have their kidneys removed and donate them. The kidneys were then given to people in need who were usually wealthy Israelis. Netcare finally gained a conscious and pleaded guilty to all of the charges made against them and they were fined $1.1 million dollars.
