Thursday, August 29, 2002To many people, the worst offenders are the Chinese. According to Western doctors and the pressure group Human Rights Watch, the Chinese routinely sell kidneys, corneas, liver tissue and heart valves from executed prisoners without their consent or that of their next-of-kin. These are sold to politically well-connected Chinese or to “transplant tourists” from other Asian countries. Although the story that lead to this post occurred in England, the problem isn’t limited to the Brits. Here’s the Organs Watch site which tracks such abuses. posted by Sydney on 8/29/2002 07:33:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
