A woman who went abroad to buy a kidney

Victoria Derbyshire | 09:07 AM, Wednesday, 10 June 2009

This morning we're going to talk to 46 year old Sukhi Johal from London who needed a kidney transplant operation. After waiting for a match for 18 months she decided to go abroad and buy a kidney. She paid £30,000 for it. In the UK it is illegal under the Human Tissue Act of 2004 to buy or sell organs. In Pakistan, the sale of a kidney is not illegal, provided it is "voluntary, genuinely motivated and without duress or coercion." Join us at ten to hear her story.
