Theft of internal organs

Incidence

It is reported that a tourist in Acapulco, Mexico, spent an evening drinking with a local woman who invited him back to her place. He never got to know what happened next. Apparently he was drugged and awoke next morning in the gutter with a stabbing pain in the midriff and a freshly-sewn wound. One of his kidneys had been stolen.

In India, there are numerous reports of people being taken into hospital under false pretenses and having an organ stolen by doctors during surgery.
