„Das ist meine alte Scheiß-Niere. Ich durfte sie behalten, habe sie dann aber letztendlich im Hotelklo runtergespült.“






7.000 Dollar für die Niere, 1.000 für einen Hinund Rückflug nach Kapstadt, wo ich ganz legal operiert werden konnte, 1.200 um den brasilianischen Fliesenleger, dessen Niere jetzt in meinem Körper steckt, aus São Paulo einzufliegen. Oh, und 1.422 Vollpension für mein Hotel und 732 für seins. Kleinkram wie Taxi und kleine Snacks lasse ich mal außen vor. Warte mal, jetzt kurz das Taschenrechner-Widget checken (Kennst du diese Widgets? Machen echt süchtig.) … 11.345 um mein Leben zu retten und meiner Frau und Tochter ein unbeschreibliches Elend zu ersparen. Scheint mir ein faires Geschäft zu sein.

Im August 2003 erlitt ich ein akutes Nierenversagen. Ich musste erfahren, dass auf der Warteliste für eine Spenderniere in etwa 3.000 Personen standen. Dann fand ich heraus, dass auf der Warteliste für eine Spenderniere, die zu meiner Blutgruppe passte, etwa 6.000 Leute standen. Eine Dialyse hätte mich zwar mühsam am Leben halten können, aber zu dem Preis, für den Rest meines Lebens an einer ganzen Reihe von Maschinen angeschlossen zu sein. Was übrigens auch nicht gerade billig gekommen wäre.

Auf der Suche nach Alternativen googelte ich durchs Internet und fand schließlich einen Arzt in Kapstadt, der auf Nierentransplantationen für reiche Ausländer spezialisiert ist (er erzählte, die meisten Kunden kämen aus Mauritius). Er gab mir die Nummer eines Brasilianers, der einen so genannten „bezahlten Spenderservice“ unterhält. Dieser Typ brauchte ungefähr vier Minuten, um mir den Namen eines Spenders zu nennen. Kein Witz. Mein Doktor hier leitete meine Akten zum Krankenhaus nach Südafrika weiter, dort machten sie einen Verträglichkeitstest, um sicherzugehen, dass mein Körper die Niere nicht wieder auskotzen würde und fünf Tage später saß ich im Flieger Richtung Kapstadt. Im Krankenhaus verpasste man mir einen Einlauf und ein Beruhigungsmittel, dann rollten sie mich in den OP, wo ich beobachten konnte, wie der Doktor meine neue Niere aus einem Glas holte, während sie anfingen mich aufzuschnippeln. Jetzt, wo das Gesundheitssystem kaputter denn je ist, wäre es wohl an der Zeit, den hippokratischen Eid selbst umzusetzen. „Hilfe, ich bin am Verrecken!“, rief ich meinen Ärzten in den Staaten zu. „Leck unseren feuchten Arsch!“, schrieen sie zurück. Also flog ich nach Südafrika, schloss die Augen und wartete darauf, gerettet zu werden. Nach der Operation bekam ich einen heftigen trockenen Würgereiz und verlor das Bewusstsein. Das kam daher, dass die Betäubung nachließ, während die Wirkung des Cyclosporins, das eine Abstoßung der Niere verhindert, einsetzte. Als ich aber wieder zu mir kam, fühlte sich mein Körper an, als wäre er wieder 20 Jahre jung. Und all das für den Preis eines Kleinwagens.

I have seen the American healthcare system at work for hemodialysis and homecare dialysis patients and it truelly sucks. The lives these people pretend to have in order to one day get that "kidney" or to see their love ones the next day is unbelievable and takes a very strong individual mentally to tolerate this so called treatment. These treatments are hell and sometimes even deathly painful.
Why is it ok to go to Canada for Lasik surgery but not ok to go out of the country for a kidney? Oh yeah, because the American Healthcare goverment doesn't have their hands into the pr

It is fine to sell your parts to help yourself and others. I think that if done responsibly, it can help the poor. Also about Americans, you german assholes, most are fags by history, got your asses handed to you twice by the USA. And we can do it again if you decide to fuck with us again. I will sell mine to. cdakcc@yahoo.com. And I am not poor, it is money that can be invested and saved for my children, or a retirement. I really don't care money is money.

According to Organs Watch, an organ-trafficking watchdog based here in the US, South Africa, India, the Philippines, China and Thailand are "hotspots" for organ trafficking.

It has been reported in the press that Professor John Robbs, head of surgery at Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine, Prof. Ariff Haffejee, Dr. Mahadev Naidoo, Dr. Neil Christopher, kidney specialist Jeff Kallmeyer, and surgeon Kapil Satyapal were charged in September 2005 on 109 counts of fraud, contravening the Human Tissues Act, and 109 counts of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

The accused are out on bail and their trial is set for this Fall.
