One wonders whether this is another urban myth a la alligators in
the sewers of New York City or whether organs are actually being
"uninstalled", so-to-speak. If this *is* an urban myth, it's
bound to cause mischief in some quarters as I know of instances
wherein Korea was reluctant to let kids go for adoption in the
U.S. because of persistent rumors that the kids were being adopted
in order to get their organs.
