Remember the Urban Legend about Stolen Kidneys?

Well, it happens in India. Here is an article (in the NYTimes, of course), about people who were either selling their kidneys, or were having them stolen, like in the urban legend. It opens with the story of a day laborer who woke up in a clinic with a bandage on his side and the armed guards told him he had had a kidney removed. The racket doing this, apparently, was quite huge. So, it's not an urban legend after all (though it doesn't appear that anyone woke up in a bathtub full of ice).
