organs have been taken without consent.
Hmm, they used that picture again -- guessed before I opened the link.
Well, instead of arguing whether the report is true or not (if there're something beyond the law, I've no idea to prove), I agree that it is hard to establish a proper law to prevent that problem -- unless it is completely banned in which case the trades go underground completely.
In 2007 China passed a law that banned trades of organs. Since it is hard to tell whether it is a 'trade' or 'donation', so the beneficiary must be 1. spouse of the provider or 2. direct lined relative 3. collateral lined relative within 3 generations.

The moderator for this post really should do something about these posts of people asking to sell there organs. I understand this is a very hard topic and situation. But this post has become a black market in the comments. Those that feel the need to have to sell your organs, I hope you know what your doing. And i honestly wish you all the best, if you are in a situation that you see you have to sell parts of your own body. Please take care and remember people are there to try and help, this should be a very last resort at best. I would urge those who really need help to exhaust more options, talk to some social workers or the local charity/organisation that can help your situation. Be careful, remember this is your own body. An illegal operation will not be of high standard. People DO die from it.
Also the Philippines should be added to that list, Very high up it. There was so much illegal trade in organs that in 2004 they even made it legal so as to control it better, but later they changed it back to illegal. Worth mentioning. There is a big documentary on it as well. Very enlightening.
Peace and Take care
