This patient is traveling to the Philippines, where it’s legal to buy organs:
For almost three years, Ms Pascual’s health has been steadily deteriorating as she waits on dialysis. The 40-year-old and her fiance, Brent Jones, who are getting married in November, fear if they don’t take drastic steps she will become too sick for a transplant or die.
They are planning to go to the Philippines, where it is legal to buy human organs – unlike in Australia. The couple are researching Filipino hospitals and doctors, who will find a paid donor who is a good match and perform the transplant.
