Chinese inmates' organs for sale to Britons
GUANGZHOU, China -- A Chinese company has begun marketing kidneys, livers and other organs from executed prisoners to sick Britons in need of transplants.
Hospital Doctor, a British magazine, earlier this month reported that a firm called Transplants International was trying to recruit British patients.
Operations were to be carried out at Guangzhou Air Force Military Hospital by doctors from a hospital affiliated with the nearby Sun Yat-sen Southern University.
Guangzhou is the fast-growing metropolis near Hong Kong in the heart of China's southern manufacturing zone.
The Telegraph confirmed the story in an interview with the hospital's Dr. Na Ning, in which a reporter posed as someone interested in getting involved as a business venture.
"We can sign an agreement," Dr. Na said over a business lunch in a smart Western restaurant.
"We should be cautious -- this is sensitive. There is no need to bring in lawyers or consultants. We should do the agreement on trust."

1. Bull fucking shit
Unless those Britons are of Asian ancestry, there is no hope of a tissue match.

This is just more manure from a bunch of know nothings who haven't educated themselves about transplant medicine before they start spewing diarrhea onto newsprint for comsumption by yahoos who are even stupider than they are.

Give it a rest.

3. don't know about compatibility
but there is some truth to this...

Organ Trafficking
Amnesty International is very concerned about reports of the sale of organs harvested from executed prisoners without permission. While officials deny the practice, accusations have been made that prisoners are given blood thinners, and executed in a manner to preserve the organs, which are reportedly harvested right away and taken directly to hospitals. These reports are very disturbing, and would constitute very serious human rights violations.

5. As this Australian paper pointed out....
And many of the medical procedures done by dark-skinned foreigners have been risky. (Of course, transplant medicine is inherently risky.)

6. This is done IN China FOR Chinese
There is no international sale for two reasons: first, the transport time is too long. Even kidneys go bad within 24 hours, and they last a relatively long time; second, the tissue matches rarely cross continental lines.

Educate yourselves. This article is unadulterated horse shit, along with all those "woke up in a bathtub full of ice with both kidneys gone, filthy Yanqui" articles in Central America.

7. Larry Niven must be feeling vindicated

I'm surprised that Texas hasn't suggested such a program for their hundreds of executions.

8. At this rate, in 10 years, the Chinese will be buying body parts....
...from freshly executed liberals in the US.
