Anton Burkov: Russia’s unknown, unwilling organ donors
Two doctors perform a surgery in front of students.
After a road accident in January, Alina Sablina lay in a coma for six days. Her parents were with her in the hospital from the day after the accident until the day before her death. Only a month after the funeral did her parents find out that they buried their daughter without seven of her organs. While filling out paperwork in connection with the criminal case against the driver who caused the accident, her mother came across a forensic report that detailed the removal of her daughter's organs by Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 1.
