What is human organ smuggling?

Human organ smuggling is the illegal trade of human organs for transplantation, often involving coercion, exploitation, or deception. This practice typically targets vulnerable populations, where individuals may be pressured or misled into selling their organs, often for inadequate compensation. The trade operates outside legal frameworks, posing significant ethical, health, and legal concerns while contributing to a global black market. Efforts to combat organ smuggling include stricter regulations, international cooperation, and public awareness campaigns.
