Granny Arrested for Organ Sales

It's hard to measure the scope of human wickedness. It's one thing to say that wickedness will increase in the end times (Matthew 24:12) and that the love of most will grow cold, but how do you measure that? I don't think that the true measure is found in the acts of dictators and despots, but in the acts of ordinary people, or at least people who appear to be ordinary. I read recently about a Russian grandmother who was arrested for trying to sell her grandkid, or more specifically, sell his internal organs. She told him that they were going on a little trip to Disneyland, when instead they were going to meet his executioner. How can a grandmother do that? What sort of cold and inhuman heart can even think of such things?
