This is why the invisible hand and capitalism works. Demand motivates entrepreneurs to create supply. There is no need for regulation because markets are self regulating.

The big question: Was it his own kidney that he sold (or someone else's)?

I think it was the Philippines where rich white people were going to buy kidneys from people in the slums, they'd make enough money from it to buy a motorcycle and start a business that would get them out of the slums.
