Nepal's 'Kidney valley' where workers are duped into selling organs

Poverty-stricken workers in Nepal are being duped into selling their kidneys, with scammers convincing some to part with their organs by claiming they will grow back.

Kavre District in the foothills of the Himalayas has become known as kidney valley, a disturbing reputation it has gained because someone from nearly every household has sold an organ.

Desperate for money, many are being sucked in by 'cash for kidney' rackets, with black market networks buying their organs for small sums and then trafficking them.
