🇰🇷 Unborn children for sale in S Korea | Al Jazeera English

The illegal sale of children makes up more than half of all the cases of human trafficking around the world, according to recent estimates. Traditionally it has involved the exploitation of children in poorer nations, but an Al Jazeera investigation has found that it is also happening in developed countries, such as South Korea. For four months, Al Jazeera surfed community boards on popular Korean Internet sites, and found an underground trade where pregnant women can sell their unborn children. Steve Chao reports.
