Nieuw transplantatieschandaal in Duitsland

Redactie

In Duitsland zijn woensdag opnieuw artsen in opspraak gekomen wegens vermeende manipulaties met wachtlijsten voor orgaantransplantaties. Aan het universitair ziekenhuis van Leipzig blijken 38 patiënten ten onrechte op de wachtlijst te staan als dialysepatiënten. Daardoor komen zij eerder in aanmerking voor een nieuwe lever.

Het Openbaar Ministerie in Leipzig is een onderzoek begonnen. In 2012 al kwamen artsen in opspraak wegens vermeende manipulatie met wachtlijsten in München, Regensburg en Göttingen. Het OM heeft die zaken nog in onderzoek.

Het valt niet alleen in het niet, het heeft er zelfs geen zak mee te maken.

Ik snap het wel, in Duitsland is in principe hetzelfde systeem, maar krijg je ook geen brief of niks om te vragen of je uberhaubt wil doneren. Met als resultaat dat er nog veel minder donoren zijn. Als arts probeer je je eigen patiënten natuurlijk zo goed mogelijk te helpen, heb je zelfs een eed voor afgelegd. Als je dan weet dat als je moet wachten tot je patiënt daadwerkelijk al aan de dialyse moet de kans groot is dat het al te laat is, dan zet je ze misschien wel iets te vroeg op de lijst. Duitsland moet gewoon België gaan volgen. Oh, en wij ook.

Juist doordat ze hier mee knoeien, maakt het me achterdochtig dat als ik donor ben, dit soort artsen zich misschien iets minder in zullen spannen om mij in leven te houden. Omdat ze mijn organen wellicht nodig hebben....

Ik heb even gezocht, maar misschien heeft hij wel een punt.
Doordat de meeste Joden geen organen willen doneren ivm hun geloof, is er in Israel een extreem tekort aan orgaan-donaties. Hierdoor blijkt Israel de wereldwijde spil van illegale orgaanhandel te zijn geworden.

Hier vind je er bijvoorbeeld wat over :

Organ traffickingMain article: Organ trade
According to organ trade expert Nancy Scheper-Hughes of Organ Watch (in 2001), Israel had become a "pariah" in the organ transplant world. The lack of donations due to Jewish custom heightened the disparity between the supply and demand of organs. This led to the popularity of "transplant tourism" in which patients in need of organs travel to medical centres abroad to receive organs.[11] Prior to the 2008 law prohibiting it, some Israeli organ brokers advertised on the radio and in newspapers. Kidneys, which are the most traded organ, may fetch up to $150,000 for brokers who usually pay the donors far less.[10] Nancy Scheper-Hughes said to the media that Israeli "tentacles" reach around the world with bank accounts around the world. She was criticized for the alleged antisemitic tone of her remark.[by whom?] She also said to the media that an Israeli doctor told her that Jews buying organs from gentiles was payback for the Holocaust. She has since said that the doctor said it in jest.[citation needed]

Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn was alleged in July 2009 to have been conspiring to arrange the sale of an Israeli citizen's kidney for $160,000.[10] According to the complaint, Rosenbaum had said that he had been involved in the illegal sale of kidneys for 10 years. Acting US Attorney Ralph Marra said "His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000". Anthropologist and organ trade expert Nancy Scheper-Hughes claimed that she had informed the FBI that Rosenbaum was "a major figure" in international organ smuggling 7 years ago, and that many of Rosenbaum's donors had come from Eastern Europe. She also heard reports that Rosenbaum held donors at gunpoint to ensure they donated their organs.[7]

The Jewish weekly newspaper The Forward reported in the wake of this scandal that an Organ Trafficking Prohibition Act of 2009, sponsored by Democratic Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, has yet to be officially introduced in the U.S., but that its proposed language cites Israel as a model of a country that has enacted a law providing benefits for organ donors.[4]

The lack of regulations against organ trafficking prior to 2008 made Israel a focal point for the international organ trade. Health insurance would reimburse Israelis for organ transplants done abroad, but this has been banned in the new law.[12]

In the 1990s, many organ brokers performed the transplants in Turkey and sourced donors from Moldova, Romania and Russia. However, some patients died and the Turkish and European media exposed the practice, forcing brokers to move to South Africa and China, among other places.[10]

In 2004 a South African organ trading operation providing American, Iranian and Israeli recipients with organs from Brazilian, Russian and Romanian donors was raided by authorities in South Africa and Brazil, who arrested 15 members of the ring including a recipient and a donor. The donors were paid $10,000 for a kidney, while the recipients were charged $120,000 to receive one.[10][13] The ring was allegedly controlled by an Israeli, Ilan Peri, who was arrested for tax evasion by the Israeli government who claims he owes $5 million and also for submitting false invoices to a government health plan for the South African organ donor operations.[10][13]

In April 2010, six Israelis were charged with running an international organ trafficking ring and breaking promises to donors to pay for their removed kidneys.[14] One of the arrested suspects is a retired army general, Israeli police said. The traffickers offered up to $100,000 per kidney but in at least two cases didn't pay the donors after the organs were surgically removed, police said.[14]

As a result of all the abuses of the illegal market in human organs, there is a growing movement of activists in Israel and in America to legalize a Government-regulated program to offer financial incentives to people for living kidney donations and to families for deceased donations from brain-stem dead donors. This movement is headed, among other organizations, by the Alliance for Organ Donor Incentives.

En, na nog even verder gezocht te hebben schijnt er inderdaad over gepubliceerd te zijn in oa de Washington Report. Bijvoorbeeld dit in het artikel `Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine` :

In August Sweden's largest daily newspaper published an article containing grisly evidence suggesting that Israel had been taking Palestinian internal organs. The article, by veteran photojournalist Donald Bostrom, called for an international investigation to discover the facts.

en :

A very small but significant minority of Israelis, including military officers and governmental ministers, hold extremist supremacist views relevant to organ extraction. In 1996, Jewish Week reported that Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh, a leader of the Lubavitch sect of Judaism and the dean of a religious Jewish school in a West Bank settlement, stated: "If a Jew needs a liver, can you take the liver of an innocent non-Jew passing by to save him? The Torah would probably permit that." Ginzburgh elaborated: "Jewish life has infinite value. There is something infinitely more holy and unique about Jewish life than non-Jewish life." [The Jewish Week, April 26, 1996, pp. 12, 31]
