And in favor of doing a good deed, some people are actually willing to donate their own organs to save those who are in need, besides, it states that a deceased donor can actually save up to eight lives where there are more than 123,000 people on the waiting list for organ transplant in the United States (American Transplant Foundation n.d.). However, not everyone in the community is willing to donate their organs for free but they would prefer to sell their organs at a higher price which is known as organ sales. And yet only Iran is the only country who allows organ sales while the other countries considered this action as illegal towards their law, although, there are at least another name which is added to the national transplant waiting list every 12 minutes.

Therefore, it actually created a negative impact towards the society such as illegal organ trafficking or abduction. According to Ben (2008), the top 3 countries with the highest rate of illegal organ trafficking is Moldova, China and India which is also a developing country. He also states that almost 10% worldwide had their kidney donated originally from Moldova which has murdered many innocent lives. Since organ trafficking is so extreme in China, David Matas and David Kilgour has written a book called ‘Bloody Harvest’. It is about governments in China have been using Falun Gong prisoners in order to supply human organs for organ transplant offered to foreigners.
