This is bizarre, a Canadian man on holiday in Costa Rica, feell down a ravince & broke his jaw. He was taken to hospital & when he woke up they had removed his healthy kidney, presumably to sell on the black market. I've been to San Jose many times & always considered itone of the safer Central American cities.

Is that news from someone you know, or another candidate for snopes.com?

That's just what I was thinking...

I've heard stories of people waking up in bathtubs filled with ice water, with their kidneys gone...

Those stories have been proven frauds again and again...

I wonder if this one's finally true.

Yes, but I thought that was just an arm and a leg, or at the worst, your first born.

I looked all over and couldn't find anything like that on the news/web. Only something about a guy who lost a kidney.LINKThat was years ago. :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: What you been into Telcoman?

Probably a cub reporter who neglected to check sources. (S)he may have been very well tutored by Dan Rather.

Well it would be bizarre whether he was Canadian, or German, or Iranian. Kidney black market?

Saw it on the BCTV 11:00 News tonight, with film clip of the guy in Hospital. I'm sure they said it was in Mexico, though...
