A Kidney... Whatever The Cost - Law & Order 

Guy should get his kidney back - if that causes her to die, well, that's a consequence she and her father should have considered.

I agree this in my opinion this shouldn't have to court that doctor and the father should have gone straight sent up to prison this is vile and horrible.

Sadly, it happens to many people and black people unfortunately are left the most vulnerable as they're taken advantage of in many ways with anything medical. Many procedures like this or lack of care for them period. Sad that it can happen to anyone

Cheaper though China medical express today. So 😥

Yeah but the daughter took drugs

I'd be willing to donate a kidney, or part of my liver (they can grow to full-size from a part) or even a lung, but I would rather be ASKED than ROBBED.

@@daynechastant I dunno why they needed to steal a kidney. Surely offering someone a million under the table would suffice?

@@mubd1234 Has to be compatible tissue I believe.

Please don’t be afraid to include etiquette willingness to donate in your will!!! The lack of kidneys could banish if people didn’t forget to just say “I wouldn’t mind my organs being donated after I die”

I'm happy to donatee every organ in my body AFTER my death

Wow, stone better watch out lol

Ahh, but when harm is inevitable, what then? The obvious answer is to do as little harm as possible, but down that path lies endless trolley problems born from utilitarian ethics. And if a doctor's job is to heal the sick and save the dying whenever possible...

The Hippocratic oath is not enforced. Doctors can choose to swear it or not. You still graduate from medical school regardless if you do or don't. And proving a doctor has sworn the oath is hard to prove. Regardless, even if they break the oath, there is no punishment for it.

@@theiran Oath or not, doctors are still accountable to the law and certainly get punished.

PeterDivine : Great comment!

It's more of a suggestion.

because murder is worse than grievous bodily harm

Would have been easier to just ask tons of people

That was originally the plan. One of the accomplices who had been told they weren’t going kill the man, said she would expose the whole plot if they left the victim to bleed out. So the male doctor we see here (the accomplice’s husband) reluctantly stitched the victim back together just enough that he wouldn’t bleed out.

I'm sorry but I don't get it

Really? "Antonio Medina, 23, a paperless Central American migrant moving through Mexico to the US, says he knows a fellow traveller who witnessed organ trafficking, after he and his wife were captured by a criminal gang. “He was travelling with his wife and they [gangsters] took both of them,” Medina told Al Jazeera during an interview in Mexico. “They [gangsters] put them in separate rooms. He heard his wife screaming. After he went in and saw her on a table with her chest wide open and without her heart or kidney.” Medina’s friend said he was saved from the grisly house-turned-clinic by Mexican soldiers."

@@theiran And the next sentence?

@@scotiadragoon5974 You could try googling it yourself. I can't do everything for you.

@@theiran I already did. That's why I know that there's a next sentence that you had read. So... what is it? Post the words.

Well, Therian got all bashful, or they couldn’t re-find the sole reporting of the incident that they claimed actually happened. The report, which is the story of a guy who heard it from a guy( you know, like an urban legend), had a second sentence in the third, quoted paragraph. This means that it is part of the same point. It reads: “The claims, like many aspects of the organ trafficking business, are impossible to independently verify. “ Therian did not feel that line was relevant to disproving the apocryphal nature of “man wakes to find that he’d been drugged and had an organ stolen .” The article goes on to state that organ-theft is almost certainly going on, but it is on hospitals, and from bodies.

Close enough.

@@FortunateJuice Well, I looked it up and watched the episode. He played attorney for the defense Dan Rybell in episode 21 of the first season. He also later played a judge in a couple of episodes.

No

@@sbains560 Did you not read my reply to Mark M? The actor who played Junior in The Sopranos also played the defense attorney in the episode this clip is from. So, yes.

It'll be weeks before they notive the mistake.

I appear to have missed the typo in the title.

@@naran_naran I think they must have fixed it.

@Andrea T I'm not going to dignify that with a response

Whatecer, focus on the video.

Hinata Patata lmao😂

And you are..? Oh, and By the way, this is a clip from a scripted TV show- not reality.

And later still a judge.

Bored Lawyer Calm down.This is a 3 minute and 10 second clip from an hour long show. I don't think you've discovered any plot holes not addressed in the whole show.

They found the kidney match through a search of military medical records.

OMG LOL I know your comment is serious but reading it cracked me up. And I’m pretty sure once your kidney is transplanted in someone else, it’s not medically (or morally) advisable to try and get it back. You can only transplant an organ so many times. Like once. I don’t think it’s a matter of who it belongs to - as much is how much it would endanger the lives of both the donor and recipient to remove it and put it back in the (unwilling) donor. If that is even medically possible. If this happened in reality, knowing it is not medically feasible to get your kidney back, and knowing the recipient wasn’t the one that violated you or even had the slightest idea where the kidney came from, I think it’s likely the donor would see that, and not hold it against the recipient. I’m also fairly certain that the unwilling donor realized there is no way medically or otherwise to get his kidney back.

In a sense, but this dude fell asleep on a park bench and woke up missing a vital organ. There’s a difference.

Utilitarian ethics is one of those concepts that looks nice on paper, but has _very_ disturbing consequences. It's choices like this that make me glad I'm not a doctor.

no, she can´t blamed for this, that old ...hole should have been forced to give one of his organs to a compatible person.

@@Durhandoni80 blame is not the issue She is in illegal possession of this man's organ. it should be returned to his body. He was assaulted and left for dead. Who cares about him as long as she survives.

Oh for gods sakes you do know you can’t do that right considering her condition right!

@@matthewforsyth284 How about they do the same thing to her that her father did to him...kidnap, assault her, drug her, and remove his organ from her body. Once it is back in his body, I guess too bad for her because his condition you know. It is stolen "property". You are not legally allowed to keep stolen property. If you buy stolen property, even unknowingly, the authorities take it from you as they should in this case! She would revert back to the condition she was in before she stole is bodily organ...not better, not worse...exactly the same way as she was naturally.

Uh you do know he doesn’t have on since the hospital obviously retied the renal vein right!?

What do u mean?

@@mallorywingate103 It's something Uncle Junior, whose actor appears in this clip, would say about Tony Soprano.

OMG no it’s not that easy. Horrible idea.

Why not to specific people?

@@remainconfident1 If they're selling, then only the rich would get them. If they want to 'gift' their organs to specific people - I think that's already allowed. Relatives, in-laws, friends and some people just make requests for an organ that 'move' people enough to donate their organs to them. I've got no problem with that either.

Opens up the idea that humans are to be butchered, sold like cattle to the highest bidder. Opens the door for organ trafficing.

Um, why would we think he’s not an actor? This is a fictional TV show...

And approved by the CDC
