“An unforgettable nonfiction thriller, expertly reported….A tremendously revealing and twisted ride, where life and death are now mere cold cash commodities.”—Michael Largo, author of Final Exits
Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing Wired editor Scott Carney leads readers on a breathtaking journey through the macabre underworld of the global body bazaar, where organs, bones, and even live people are bought and sold on The Red Market. As gripping as CSI and as eye-opening as Mary Roach’s Stiff, Carney’s The Red Market sheds a blazing new light on the disturbing, billion-dollar business of trading in human body parts, bodies, and child trafficking, raising issues and exposing corruptions almost too bizarre and shocking to imagine.

      Perhaps even more alarming is that most of the egg donors in Cyprus come from the relatively small population of poor Eastern European immigrants who are eager to sell their eggs at any price. Though no government statistics break down egg donation in the country, all clinics emphasize their large Eastern European donor pools because their light skin and high education standards make them easier to market to Western European customers. Of the thirty thousand Russians, Ukrainians, Moldavians, and Romanians on the island, some estimates say that as many as one in four have sold their eggs.

        I WEIGH JUST a little under two hundred pounds, have brown hair, blue eyes, and a full set of teeth. As far as I know, my thyroid gland pumps the right hormones into the twelve pints of blood that circulate in my arteries and veins. At six feet two inches, I have long femurs and tibias with solid connective tissue. Both of my kidneys function properly, and my heart runs at a steady clip of eighty-seven beats per minute. All in, I figure I’m worth about $250,000.
