The May edition of New Internationalist Magazine investigates the grizzly underworld of organ trafficking. The illicit trade in human organs – mainly kidneys – is a multimillion dollar business. Spanning continents, bringing together for a brief period the medically desperate with the desperately poor, it is portrayed by the pushers as helping out people in extreme need. We explore the mass of ethical issues involved with first-person accounts from across the entire spectrum of the trade that bring to light why the practice is so difficult to stamp out... Also: In Beyond burnout, Amy Hall discovers that post-traumatic stress disorder is an occupational hazard for activists on the frontline, while in the Argument, animal rights organization Viva! associate director Tony Wardle and social commentator Mohammed Ansar debate whether halal and kosher methods of slaughter should be banned.
