THE DELMOR GUEST HOUSE The idea of transplanting organs is not new. It can be found in myths of the ancient Greeks and was referred to by even older civilizations. But until the middle of the twentieth century it remained largely impossible, a piece of myth, or fantasy, or science fiction. Skin and eyes were among the first successful transplants. But the larger, more complex, and imbedded organs posed countless problems. The kidney was the first such organ to be successfully transplanted. Since humans naturally have two kidneys, but can live with just one, the kidney lent itself well to the process. (Of the major organs, the kidney is still the one most often transplanted.) The first attempts in the early 1950s, as in all transplant cases, were made when the only other alternative for the patient was death. These early patients briefly raised hopes by starting a good recovery, but then succumbed. The future of transplant surgery began to look very bleak. There were ethical problems in this new procedure that bothered some doctors: To cure one patient, they had to harm another healthy person (by taking out a kidney). The trade in human organs is "alive and well". Rogue transplant surgeons such as Jonathon & Abigail Delmor are taking advantage of the organ shortage in those countries where poverty is widespread like South Africa. Fleeing South Africa from the law for their unethical medical practices Jonathon & Abigail Delmor found refuge in the land of opportunity, new world, to start a new life in Canada. On the out skirts of a small town in York Region sat an abandoned building that Jonathon & Abigail Delmor thought it was the perfect location to start their new business. Unaware that over a hundred years ago, it housed the most insane people of the time. Over the years his quest to cure was over taken by greed and he turned to the black market. For the last 50 or so years, there have been brutal murders in and around the York Region area that have gone unsolved. People thought they were safe outside of the confines of the gates of the DelMOR GUEst House, they were DEAD wrong.
