I was amazed at the 10.000 dollars/kidney black market value, if you
compare to crimes with similar risks, like a hit job, and add the price for
the medical expertise required, plus the fact that more than 1 person is
comitting the crime, and is exposed to the same danger of punishment for
it. I think you'd end up at a figure at least 10 times as high. I think the
story has some weaknesses on the supply side as well.
btw, i can't imagine many high payed medical dr's, risking their
comfortable way of life...
