Summary: Michigan State University Professor Monir Moniruzzaman attempts to uncover the dreadful blackmarket trade of organs. He discovers that poor people who sell their organs hardly ever come up with the proposed money. In fact, 80% of the donors did not receive any money at all. Most of the operations are taking place in India, where refutable doctors are performing surgeries eight at a time.

Questions: Do you believe organ donations would become a required thing in the future, similar to Never Let Me Go? How would you regulate the spread of black market organs?
