# Police Arrest Two for Plan to Harvest Child’s Organs

Welcome to hell, where human organs are so valuable people [sell their own kidneys for food](<https://www.vice.com/en/article/z34e85/kenyatta-national-hospital-kidney-kenya>) and two Nigerian officials were arrested this week for allegedly trying to harvest some from a child.

Earlier today, a Nigerian senator and his wife were charged with bringing a child to the UK in order to harvest their organs, [the *Daily Beast* reported](<https://www.thedailybeast.com/two-people-charged-in-plot-to-harvest-a-childs-organs-in-uk?ref=scroll>). While the *Beast* didn't say how old the child is or reveal their name, the UK paper [*Evening Standard*](<https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/metropolitan-police-nigeria-couple-organ-harvest-b1007916.html>)[ described the would-be victim](<https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/metropolitan-police-nigeria-couple-organ-harvest-b1007916.html>) as a teenager.

"A child has been safeguarded and we are working closely with partners on continued support," police said in a statement published by the *Standard*.

As if that isn't bad enough, the *Beast* reported that organ harvesting is still a [popular global trade](<https://futurism.com/neoscope/selling-diseased-body-parts-medical-centers>).

A Kenyan hospital had to issue a statement that asked locals to stop calling about donating their kidneys, because individuals were selling so many of them just to feed their families, for as little as $1,500 per kidney. In China, the *Beast* says harvesting organs from executed prisoners is legal, but [experts ](<https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-new-evidence-surgeon-doctor-execution-murder-prisoner-organ-harvesting-donor-uyghur-falun-gong-genocide-human-rights-world-health-organization-who-11654012796?mod=trending_now_opn_3>)[have also claimed](<https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-new-evidence-surgeon-doctor-execution-murder-prisoner-organ-harvesting-donor-uyghur-falun-gong-genocide-human-rights-world-health-organization-who-11654012796?mod=trending_now_opn_3>) that in many cases, prisoners were still alive during the horrible operations.

There's really no other way to say it: this is disgusting, bleak news.

We hope the child survivor finds a manageable path to recovery and that the world is able to successfully crack down on this grim trade.
