Episode 4Should Human Kidneys Be Bought And Sold?
The first successful human kidney transplant took place in 1954. But today, the demand for kidneys greatly outstrips availability and as many as 1 in 10 kidney patients in the UK die before getting the transplant they need.

In partnership with The Open University, this film explores the ethics of buying and selling kidneys.
