The Unseen Horrors of Black Market Cannibalism Trade

Cannibalism, the act of eating human flesh, is one of the most taboo and repulsive practices in human history. Yet, despite the widespread condemnation and disgust, there is a hidden and sinister market for human body parts that fuels the demand for cannibalism. This market operates in the shadows of the dark web, where anonymous buyers and sellers trade human organs, bones, blood, and even corpses for various purposes. Some of these purposes are medical, such as using human tissue for transplants or treatments. Others are ritualistic, such as using human remains for occult ceremonies or magic. And some are simply depraved, such as satisfying a perverse appetite for human flesh.

The black market for human body parts is not a new phenomenon. Throughout history, there have been cases of people consuming human remains for medicinal or religious reasons. For example, in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Europeans, including royalty, priests, and scientists, routinely ingested remedies containing human bones, blood, and fat as medicine for everything from headaches to epilepsy[1][1]. In some cultures, such as the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea, cannibalism was a part of their funeral rites, as they believed that eating the dead would allow them to inherit their qualities and prevent their spirits from wandering.

However, the modern black market for human body parts is different from the historical or cultural practices of cannibalism. It is driven by greed, exploitation, and violence. It is estimated that the global black market for human organs alone is worth $1.2 billion per year, and that up to 10,000 organs are illegally harvested and sold every year. The sources of these organs are often poor and vulnerable people, who are either coerced, deceived, or kidnapped by organ traffickers. Some of them are even killed for their organs, as in the case of the Falun Gong practitioners in China, who are allegedly subjected to forced organ harvesting by the Chinese government.

The black market for human body parts is not only a threat to human dignity and life, but also a public health risk. The organs and tissues that are sold on the dark web are often unregulated, untested, and unsanitary. They may carry diseases, infections, or parasites that can harm the recipients or the consumers. Moreover, the illegal trade of human body parts contributes to the spread of crime, corruption, and violence, as organ traffickers often operate in networks that involve gangs, cartels, and terrorists.

The black market for human body parts is a horrific and hidden reality that needs to be exposed and stopped. The international community should work together to combat this trade, by strengthening the laws and regulations against organ trafficking, increasing the awareness and education of the public, and promoting the ethical and voluntary donation of organs. The human body is not a commodity, and cannibalism is not a solution. It is a crime against humanity, and a violation of the most basic human rights.
