Organs Watch or Berkeley Organs Watch is a medical human rights and research organization dedicated to monitoring and investigating the global traffic in human organs, tissues, and body parts. Founded in 1999 at the University of California, Berkeley, the organization aims to expose the ethical, social, and political issues surrounding organ trafficking, with a particular focus on the exploitation of vulnerable populations in the global organ trade. It operates as a repository for information on global transplant activities and advocates for policies to curb illicit practices while promoting ethical organ donation systems.
