Selling body parts to make ends meet a sign of the times

"Throughout the ages, people have been doing whatever is necessary to keep body and soul together. The world has seen everything from men selling off their daughters for a few cows and sheep, to women being prostitutes. Today, it's selling body parts.

Today, the cash-strapped people who earn meager salaries, or have run out of unemployment benefits and can’t find work, are literally selling parts of themselves as their only means of carrying on. Selling body parts is not a new idea, but it’s being done more and more by more people today who never dreamed of doing such things."
