Hello guyssss..
Here's the article that I found from 'The Guardian':
China to stop using executed prisoners as source of transplant organs.
Reported that China is the only country that still systematically takes organs from executed prisoners for use in transplant operations. The supply of human organs falls far short of demand in China, due in part to a traditional belief that bodies should be buried or cremated intact. An estimated 300,000 patients are wait-listed every year for organ transplants, but that only about 100,000 ultimately or so receive them. Owing to high demand and low donation rates, death row prisoners have provided the majority of transplanted organs for years. But in future their organs will only be used if they volunteer to donate and their families approve the decision. So far, the Chinese government has over the last year flagged plans to end the controversial practice (from next month - January 2015) which has drawn criticism from rights groups who have accused authorities of taking many organs without consent from prisoners or their families.
What you do think about this article ?
To be honest, I have never thought about this kind of thing before. Organs from prisoners ?? This is a human rights nightmare..
P.S Thanks for reading and feel free to leave your comment on this :)
