Buying Hope: Selling Illegal Organs
Documentary following one BBC researcher as she becomes Scotland's first altruistic donor, donating one of her kidneys to a complete stranger in a bid to save a life.
With Scotland's organ donation programme in crisis, BBC Scotland follows one BBC researcher as she becomes Scotland's first altruistic donor, donating one of her kidneys to a complete stranger in a bid to save a life. What she uncovers on her journey is truly shocking - she discovers, and secretly films, people across the UK willing to sell their own organs, and travels to India to look at how the shortage of healthy organs in Europe is having devastating effects in developing countries.
