Theme: Organ Harvesting

Organ Harvesting refers to the illicit appropriation of human organs for donor purposes on the black market. While in the real world organs are regularly harvested from the dead for transplant surgery, supplies of some organs are limited. There is the Urban Legend that this is practiced on live persons in some Third World countries with stories of tourists drugged and waking up missing organs.

Horror and SF cinema is filled with various stories of such illicit schemes conducted in secrecy at hospitals or secret facilities. There are also various SF films that depict futures where such is commonplace or where people are grown as Clone copies for the purposes of being harvested.
