Illegal organ trade thrives where poverty meets demand, turning bodies into commodities. In this episode we analyze data, interviews, and legal systems to show how healthcare inequality fuels a billion-dollar underground market. Combining public health, ethics, economics, and law, we trace supply chains from impoverished donors to wealthy recipients, expose regulatory loopholes and enforcement failures, and argue the real remedy lies in expanding donation systems and healthcare equity—not just criminalization.

What We'll Discuss:
- 📊 Data: scale and hidden statistics
- ⚖️ Legal gaps enabling trafficking
- 💉 Medical ethics and institutional roles
- 🌍 Economic geography of supply chains
- 🏥 Policy fixes: donation and healthcare systems
- 🤝 What listeners can do to help
