 * Case: Corneas in the Congo**


 * Brief summary:** We are the head of a small aid agency in the Congo. Our mission is to provide health service for refugees. We focus on giving intensive help to small communities. Our camp has fifty people currently in it. A parasite has caused 10 people to go blind. Out of the 10 people 1/2 are children. We have worked with Doctors Without Borders in the past. This time they have informed us that they can perform the surgery but that it is impossible to get the corneas needed for implants.

Few days later the director of Doctors Without Borders and informs us that there is a Chinese aid agency that has twenty corneas available and will trade us for a truck and ten cases of medical supplies. We are informed that the corneas are coming from a wealthy business man that bought them from a middle man that buys body parts from prisons. The prison carefully execute criminals and then take their livers and corneas for sale. The prison warden is liberal with executions, especially political prisoners.
