8-year old British girl killed for her organs
This British girl was on her first ever-foreign trip to India. This now is the last trip of her lifetime.
The eight-year-old girl was visiting her grandparents in Punjab, India. She was admitted in a hospital for dehydration. Instead of treating her for dehydration the hospital workers injected her with a liquid that caused her to become very sick eventually resulting in her death.
In India laws are made so that they are broken over and over again. There has been a ban against organ harvesting since 1994 –but we all know that this restriction is only paper-true.
