Lawyers for a man who pleaded guilty Thursday in the first ever federal conviction for illegal organ trafficking say he was performing life-saving services for severely ill people.
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, from New York, admitted in a Trenton federal court to brokering three illegal kidney transplants for desperate New Jersey-based customers in exchange for payments of $120,000 or more.
He also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count for brokering an illegal kidney sale.

It's pretty easy to steal organs from a group of people when you keep them caged in walls and no access to the outside world. They can find pretty much any organ they need at any time they wish. It's been happening too, a lot.

I mean I am sure there are alot of volenteers, If someone was to offer me 120k to sell one of my kidney's
I would have to think real hard about it. To tell the truth I might do it.
I hope I am not the only one.edit on 28-10-2011 by KingAtlas because: Spelling

They are pretty much medical mercenaries for rich people who need body parts. The right price will get you anything you need at what ever cost necessary. The Israeli traffickers are among the worse of the bunch.
