India should stop spending millions on their nukes and help their poor.

BAN this Kidney SALES. I do not know unemployment costs my country n people that much. These people are selling their kidneys only for 15,000-20,000 Rupees( It's hardly 300-400 $). What if these people will get complications after transplant ? What if these people's Kidneys failed n they need one more ?? Will they get free treatment or 1 more kidney ? Loop Holes in laws(in India) invite these " Visitors " to negotiate lives for organs..Shame on these people.
