Chapter 440: Selling a Kidney (Revised)

Rie Sakai, Kazuya Takahashi, and Yuki Mizuhara chose a members-only sushi restaurant in Minato Ward to complete their dinner tonight.

The three of them were seated in a row. Underneath Rie Sakai was Yuki Mizuhara, and underneath Yuki Mizuhara was Kazuya Takahashi.

“These two beautiful people you brought here instantly have a sense of splendor when they sit here with us.” The sushi chef said as he worked and made the necessary emotional connections and exchanges with his familiar customers.

“This one is my proper girlfriend, Ms. Yuki Mizuhara. I’m in the middle of dating her with the purpose of marriage. As for the honorable man next to her, he’s quite extraordinary! Tonight, you’ll have to show your skills.” Takahashi Kazuya took the initiative to introduce.

“I won’t let you guys down.” The sushi chef was full of confidence in his sushi craft that he had been practicing for decades. Plus, when he saw that Takahashi Kazuya was still so solemn with his introduction, it became clear in his heart.

So, he was a little more attentive than usual. Not only did he know Takahashi Kazuya’s background, but several generations of the Takahashi family had eaten sushi made by his own hands.

“Rie-san, what do you and Masayoshi-san talk about during dinner on weekdays?” Mizuhara Yuki looked at Sakai Rie with her cheeks resting sideways and asked with interest.

“Chatting about everything, it’s similar to what we’re doing now. The only difference is that he likes to talk about negative topics. He even told me one during breakfast today.

Someone went so far as to sell one of their kidneys in order to buy a cell phone.” Sakai Rie picked up the green colored teacup that was placed in front of her was took a sip of tea and said.

“No way! Could there be such a stupid person in the world? A kidney and a cell phone, there’s absolutely no comparison.” Mizuhara Yuki didn’t dare to believe it said.

“From the many years I’ve known this one hairy guy of mine, he’s not a person who likes to make up his own mind. Although it sounds a bit hard for normal people to accept, I think it should be true.

The poor people in Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bhutan and other countries in South Asia also sell their kidneys.

The price of a kidney on the black market is only a few hundred thousand yen. However, the money that the seller can get is not even 100,000 yen. It’s really that cheap and inexpensive.

There were even whole villages selling kidneys. After they get the money, they either build houses or marry wives. Otherwise, they buy land and so on.

Of course, there are also people who eat, drink, whore, gamble and spend money. No matter what kind it is, it’s the same nature as selling kidneys to buy cell phones.” Takahashi Kazuya said in a serious manner.

“They’re also just too pitiful.” Mizuhara Yuki was, after all, a freshman, so naturally her knowledge of society was very limited.

Furthermore, she was originally from a good background and had always lived under the sun, making it difficult for her to see the other side of society’s darkness. Her heart gave birth to sadness and said.

“In their bodies, not only are they pitiful, but there are things that are completely beyond what you can understand. Selling a kidney is not something you can sell just because you want to.

First of all, it needs the kidney’s one’s blood type and other matches to be highly consistent with yours to work. Kidney sellers are artificially grouped together for food and accommodation.

They are kept like pigs, waiting patiently for their chance to be operated. Anyone among them who gets picked will not be sad, but happy.

Even the one who was not selected would still congratulate him. As for the person who lost the election, besides waiting for the next chance to come, he would lament his really bad luck.” Kazuya Takahashi spoke eloquently.

“Are they all idiots one by one?” Mizuhara Yuki said in surprise.

“All of them are people with normal intelligence. There’s no shortage of people among them who have been tricked. However, most of them are self-willed. Even if the officials of some of these countries know exactly what’s going on, they still adopt the default attitude of turning a blind eye.

For one thing, the bureaucracies of these countries were so corrupt that bribes had been normalized. Paying money to get things done is the norm.

The other is the harsh reality of the situation. Relying only on kidney donors, it is simply not possible to meet the number of people who need to return their kidneys. Even the fairest ranking will make many people die before they can wait for a kidney replacement.

That there is a demand, there must be a market created and formed. As a result, a complete black industrial chain of buying and selling kidneys has naturally formed in some of these countries.

The people involved in this to buy kidneys are not only the middle and upper classes of the South Asian countries, but there are also some people from the Western countries and even us in Japan who go over there to buy kidneys for kidney transplantation surgeries.” Kazuya Takahashi rambled.

“To say a thousand words, it’s not that these people are stupid, but they are simply too poor. After being poor to an extreme, one would feel that living is suffering.

To die would be better than to live. Masayoshi Kishimoto quoted a line from Zhuangzi: “Being a laborer, death is a rest”.

He also said that there is an even more inhumane thing in South Asia, India, surrogacy. There is a place in India that specializes in surrogacy services.

Their main target clientele is the middle class in western countries who want to have children but are not able to do so. This also does not exclude Japanese people going.

The whole black industry chain is also very complete, with explicit prices. First, the clients are made to treat the surrogate women as if they were choosing livestock. Or rather, like a slave owner picking out slaves.

The clients will not only ask the surrogate women some questions, but also look at their teeth and so on. Those who are picked will appear as happy as in the case of kidney sellers.

They feel that there is money to be made. Before the money is even taken out of their hands, they start making all sorts of calculations on how to spend it. The exact way of spending the money is also similar to that of the kidney sellers.

The status of women not only in India but also in South Asian countries is quite low. Upper middle class is not bad, after all, is a certain amount of good education.

There is no shortage of women who have studied in big name universities in Europe and America. Lower middle class, especially the bottom of the women, is living in hell on earth. Being also a populous country, the status of Chinese women is quite high.

At one time, even Western women envied Chinese women. The ideal state of the Western feminists is the equalization of power between men and women that Chinese women had in the Maoist era.

Women do not have to wear make-up to please men. Men and women are equal in employment.” Sakai Rie just restored what she had heard from Kishimoto Masayoshi with a frown on her face.

Meanwhile, of course, she didn’t know that some of these things that Masayoshi Kishimoto had told it, that all originated from the BBC documentary “Surrogates”, the Indian movie “Sizzling Hot”, and so on.
