I am still so confused about this one. Is this like a thing? Honestly I wouldn't be surprised anymore. All the rest is pretty real, we basically "sacrifice" children by giving religions so much power, war, unregulated fast food, etc.

Big thing in many developing countries. There's entire villages where many people give away their own organs or those of their children for the equivalent of a couple hundred bucks. Mostly kidneys, since you can live with one of them but still pretty messed up.

Not so long time ago, at the dawn of this century this has been a substantial issue even in Europe, in Moldova. Now a big thing in Afghanistan.
