Organ trafficking Do you remember the story of Frankenstein, the monster who was created by man using multiple dead bodies. The story tells us the sanctity of human life and the warns of the evil side of science. Nowadays humans are not capable of creating human life from dead bodies like Frankenstein, but humans are able to use organs for human benefits, such as for incurable diseases or for handicapped people. Unfortunately, high medical skills not only give us bright sides but also a dark sides one of which is organ trafficking. Organ trafficking means that someone illegally sells human’s organs as a product. There are various worldwide organizations against illegal organ trafficking. Let me talk about their efforts. I'm going to focus on introducing two non-profit organizations. One of the organizations is "Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH)" that aims to provide the medical community and society with ethical and legal organ trading. The other organization is "World Medical Association (WMA)" that aims to provide ethical guidance. The purpose of those organizations is basically the same, stopping the works of illegal organ harvesting. The organizations' members are formed by Medical doctors of various specialties and medical researchers. They also have non-medical professional members as a sponsor. The member do inform significant facts about organ trafficking to public using medical knowledge. They often collaborate with journalists to publish books and article on news or magazines. However, the main activity of them is to appeal the need of laws that prohibit organ trafficking to governments. DAFOH collected nearly 450,000 signatures, from over 32 countries and petitioned UN for ending illegal organ trafficking in China on Oct 2013. According to Damon Noto, the spokesperson of DAFOH, international pressure has forced change in China previously. WMA cooperated with Chinese Medical Association (CMA) on medical ethics and human rights in 1998. They have been trying to remove forced organ harvesting in China.
