Question

What is the main cause of organ trafficking in India?

Answer

Organ trafficking in India is primarily driven by a severe shortage of organs for legitimate transplants, coupled with an illicit market that exploits impoverished individuals. Desperate patients seeking life-saving organs meet vulnerable donors pressured by financial hardship, often through a network of middlemen and unethical medical practitioners.
