Scary stuff in Japan:
A total of 11 transplants took place using the kidneys from the sick, unknowing patients, the report alleged. Hospital officials said at a Friday news conference that 11 such transplants allegedly were carried out between 2004 and this September.Apparently, the process started out innocently enough when one physician asked another if he had any kidneys he was going to “throw out,” but the urologist found that he could actually use what he was given in a live patient in need of a transplant, the report said.
