Foreigners will be banned from receiving kidneys for transplant in the Philippines to stop the country from becoming a major center for organ transplants. Many poor people are selling their organs cheaply, and these organs are going to rich foreigners, mostly from Japan, Europe and the Middle East. (AP)

フィリピン政府は外国人への腎臓移植の全面禁止を発表した。これにはフィリピン国民がお金のために腎臓を売る臓器売買が横行していることが背景にある。
