Ten Days In the Vatican: Anti-Human-Trafficking Work, A Golden Bear Pin and A Kiss
Nancy Scheper-Hughes gave two presentations at a human-trafficking plenary in Rome and says her primary contributions came in proposals relating to organ trafficking. One would prohibit "the buying, selling, brokering and implanting of organs and tissues from trafficking persons in all countries." Another would ask the world’s religions to encourage voluntary and altruistic organ sharing. "In the end, clothes did not make either the man or the woman.
