West stories

My story is of a ghost seen on Frank street in Tucson, Arizona. They created a group of people to scare the ghost away but the ghost did not scare. When the ladies of the town were told of the ghost attacking their towns defenders they all fainted

Organ trafficking


  • Selling a living persons organs is legal in Iran with the consent of the person.
  • People who sell organs are often promised large amounts of money but are often left for dead and given nothing or less what they were promised.
  • Most commonly people who are illiterate, homeless, and migrant workers are tricked into selling their organs.
  • Wealthy people often pay large amounts of money to skip the line for an organ

I learned today about organ trade. It is a widespread problem where people illegally sell their organs through the black market. There are movements to stop organ trafficking because people are often tricked into it. There is one story of a man getting drugged and waking up in a bathtub full of ice with a not saying to call 911.
