Lax hospitals may be fostering kidney-selling (AP)

This July 23, 2009 photo shows Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, of Brooklyn, N.Y, being walked to a waiting bus outside FBI offices in Newark, N.J. A federal complaint disclosed last week alleges that Rosenbaum was involved in a scheme to buy a kidney from an Israeli donor and sell it to an American who needed a transplant for as much as $160,000. Critics of the organ transplant process say look-the-other-way hospital policies could be fostering an illegal trade in this country. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)AP - A look-the-other-way attitude at some U.S. hospitals may be fostering a black-market trade in kidneys, transplant experts say. Some hospitals do not inquire very deeply into the source of the organs they transplant because such operations can be highly lucrative, according to some insiders. A single operation can bring in tens of thousands of dollars for a hospital and its doctors.
