Advertisement for selling a heart in Tehran
One of the readers of Khabar Online has sent a photo of an advertisement for selling a heart to this media outlet.
The president of the Iranian Organ Donation Association’s board of directors mentioned that hundreds of people annually approach us and the Ministry of Health, claiming to have been deceived in this way.
There are individuals who roam the corridors of transplant centers and identify those in need of organs. For example, if they find someone in need of a lung, heart, liver, etc., they offer to sell it to them for 300 million tomans, taking an upfront payment of 50 million tomans. After receiving the money, they disappear and cannot be found again.
Nowhere in the world can organs be completely harvested from anyone other than a living person.
