A woman who planned to donate part of her liver to a man in exchange for cash and a job for her son has been fined, a report said.that a Korean woman in her 50s, named Ms K, was reported when her extended stay in hospital after contracting COVID-19 attracted suspicion.
Ms K reportedly agreed to donate part of her liver in exchange for 100 million won and a job for her son, per The Hankyoreh. She later entered hospital for the surgery, but tested positive for COVID-19, delaying the procedure. In the interim, a nurse grew concerned about the nature of the pair's relationship and reported the woman for organ trafficking.
A court ordered Ms K to pay a fine of 3 million won , while Mr N was given a six-month prison sentence — suspended for two years. An accomplice received a one-year sentence.
Fining desperate people instead of corrupt corporations is insane. This is an example of modern day slavery. It is what excessive capitalism does.
Poor lady. Life is a wonderful and totally unfair thing.
Plot twist...this is her son.
