The Red Market

On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers

By: Scott Carney

Narrated by: Scott Carney

Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing Wired editor Scott Carney leads listeners on a breathtaking journey through the macabre underworld of the global body bazaar, where organs, bones, and even live people are bought and sold on The Red Market.

As gripping as CSI and as eye-opening as Mary Roach’s Stiff, Carney’s The Red Market sheds a blazing new light on the disturbing, billion-dollar business of trading in human body parts, bodies, and child trafficking, raising issues and exposing corruptions almost too bizarre and shocking to imagine.

Critic reviews

“An unforgettable nonfiction thriller, expertly reported….A tremendously revealing and twisted ride, where life and death are now mere cold cash commodities.” (Michael Largo, author of Final Exits)

Inmortal

Immortality seems to find its way towards a spectrum of unimaginable suffering. Driven by a market of maddening greed!

Desperate people

Crazy to think what people are doing around the world due to their desperation. Those in extreme poverty are selling their organs, dying on blood farms, their children are stolen and sold to first world countries etc. people are not people, they are cash cows….nothing more than a product. Their organs, fluids, or bodily sacrifice is disguised as a good deed but then they are left with little or no money and worse health. The dead cant even rest, they are ripped from the ground and dismembered. We are all products and consumers of the red market. How can we make it better? Very good question.

I took a star off because the narrator will repeat himself. This happened every once in awhile. He might of lost track of where he was and picked up on the recording but the redundancy was slightly annoying but only slightly.

This book makes think about life and ethics.

The market of human parts !
So difficult to talk and make people think
Not to think only about money is really hard

Great information about organ trading

I don’t usually write a review but rather just rate them but I must say I learned new information about black market organ trading or should I say organ donation.
I enjoyed this book and thank you Scott Carney for the butchered attempt of an Indian accent. (To those who might not know, the voice you hear on scam centers located in India, but worse).

A multy faceted book

În this book you learn about Indian poverty, Top biological research in Cyprus. Shady practises in drug testing in US
