Factory-Level Transplants
How edifying, an Indian doctor named "Dr. Horror", for practising factory-style human body-part transplants has an established presence in that great good country of Canada. What have we done to deserve this signal honour? Oh, I know; our easy acceptance of all those who seek succour and financial rewards accruing to hard labour, mental or physical. And just occasionally, it would seem, a safe harbour from the inconveniently long arm of justice.Amit Kumar had his human-parts factory raided by Indian police in the suburb of Gurgaon. Where the discovery in his posh home in that upscale high-tech area on the periphery of New Delhi, was made of a basement room nicely equipped with surgical supplies. Present, and busy operating were a doctor and a few associates involved in managing the transplant business. They were duly arrested.
For it is highly illegal, not to mention immoral to force people to surrender a portion of their most prized possession; their mortal carapace and all it encompasses. Found too, at the time of the raid, were five labourers whose kidneys had been removed, and who claimed they were taken to the Gurgaon house under the pretense they would be offered jobs. And were then forced at gunpoint to "sell" their kidneys.
The Canadian connection? Well, Mr. Kumar's family, it appears, is rumoured to reside in Canada. And it was from Canada that prospective clients were recruited and whisked away to a secret operating theatre. And where they stayed in luxurious surroundings, their every wish carefully tended to, their dollars gracefully accepted, and their failing kidneys replaced with freshly viable organs.
Indian police announced their international manhunt for Dr. Kumar. His accomplices had revealed to them that he was in possession of forged Canadian and Nepalese passports. "We are not ruling out the possibility that he may have escaped abroad by using his contacts. However, he will not be able to escape the legal channels", vowed Gurgaon's police commissioner.
This incredible human specimen, this medical doctor, is accused of having extracted up to 500 kidneys from unwilling donors for illegal transplants. Interpol is busy at the moment, trying to track him down. Not too soon. Alas, too late for too many.
