00:00As long as it's about the law, he won't be able to get past it.
00:03Here's Atty. Gaby Concepcion, our heart of the law.
00:07Good morning and happy Hump Day, Atty.
00:11Good morning to you too, Maris.
00:13Oh my, the stones in the sky hit you. Don't be mad.
00:17But what if you sold your own stones?
00:21Oh my, be careful.
00:23The illegal sale of kidney stones and the illegal kidney transplant is a mystery.
00:30A nurse of the National Kidney and Transplant Institute was not involved in the incident.
00:37In the operation of the NBI, a house in Bulacan was invaded
00:41where some donated stones.
00:44One of the victims was paid only Php 2,000
00:48even though he was promised Php 200,000.
00:52What does the law say about this kind of sale?
00:55Well, ask me, ask Atty. Gaby.
01:04Atty., because of the great need and part of the body, it's being sold.
01:10What can be the case of those who illegally sell organs, especially stones?
01:17Well, we will not sue and imprison those who have sold their kidneys
01:23so that they can continue if we imprison them after the operation.
01:28In fact, they are just victims.
01:31The ones who can be sued are the recruiters who are looking for donors and those who will buy the kidneys.
01:39They are the ones who are clear that they have a possible violation of the law
01:42that is related to imprisonment and fine.
01:44They are the ones who advertise that they can get a willing donor but there is a fine.
01:49And because the internet is there, there are a lot of advertisers who advertise kidneys for sale.
01:56These middlemen or recruiters usually enter the vulnerable and poor communities.
02:02This is where they usually find those in need
02:06and it's easy to convince them to donate in exchange for fast money.
02:11Those in need of kidneys are willing to pay a lot because it's very expensive and it's very difficult to dialysis.
02:18Those who are dialysing already know that.
02:22But this kind of recruitment is a possible crime under our anti-trafficking laws.
02:29Usually, we hear about trafficking in relation to women who are recruited for labor or prostitution.
02:36We also hear about it in children who are recruited for child pornography or child labor.
02:43But trafficking is also prohibited if it is a recruitment to get organs for donation and transplant.
02:51And under Republic Act 9208, our anti-trafficking law,
02:56recruitment for that purpose has a prison term of 20 years and there is a fine of 1 million to 2 million pesos.
03:05But this was done through the internet.
03:07According to Republic Act 11862,
03:09the penalty for qualified trafficking and life imprisonment is a fine of 2 to 5 million pesos.
03:17So, be careful.
03:19Here's another one.
03:20What if an organ donor donated money as a thank you?
03:26Will the sale still be considered?
03:29The problem is, I'm sure this is the excuse of people who accept monetary consideration.
03:36But strictly speaking, if this is not discussed,
03:39and it was just thought of later on when there is no demand or discussion,
03:44it might not be illegal.
03:46Although, if you are thankful and donated money before getting a kidney transplant,
03:52be careful.
03:53The proposed transplant might be rejected and not continued by doctors or hospitals.
03:58Under DOH rules on kidney transplants and international rules,
04:05financial consideration as a precondition for organ donation is prohibited.
04:11They use the words selflessness, philanthropy, and altruism when donating kidney.
04:19So, it is prohibited to discuss money there.
04:21I hope it was clear.
04:23Because we will make it clear when discussing laws.
04:27For the peace of mind, don't think twice.
04:32Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
