Preprodaja ljudskih organa, najcesce bez dozvole "donatora" je postao jedan od najunosnijih poslova u Kini, pod drzavnom kontrolom........
Nije ni cudo sto im je suficit toliki, kada su jedini na svetu, koji prodaju bubrege na kilo, ko krompir.......
An Organ Market with Chinese Characteristics
While there are no statistics available detailing who the recipients of organ transplants are, the majority are probably mainland Chinese citizens. Government cadres, however, are reportedly given preferential status for organ procurement. Doctors at the Shenzhen People's Armed Police Hospital told a former Intermediate Court judge that they would be particularly happy to accommodate his request to obtain a donated kidney for his brother, since they wanted the court to help in arranging a steady supply of executed prisoners' organs.(80) And according to a recent investigative article in a Hong Kong magazine, hospitals usually make a special effort to meet expeditiously the needs of cadres requiring organ transplants:
In the senior cadre wards of high-level hospitals, organ needs are recorded promptly. Instructions from the [Party] leadership say that medical departments should naturally expend every possible effort to meet the needs of loyal servants of the revolution, and so organs from condemned prisoners are first of all reserved for their use. Long before the prisoner is executed...his or her health records, details of blood type and so forth will have been sent to the hospital, which then merely waits for the bullet being fired.(81)
Prompt organ transplant surgery is known to be widely available in China for high-paying foreign or overseas Chinese patients also. Patients are told exactly when they should arrive at the hospital, and the organs duly arrive on time. Quite how hospitals meet patient needs so quickly is a question with grave legal and medical ethics implications, for it would clearly suggest that execution dates are scheduled to conform with patient transplantation needs, rather than with the strict requirements of due legal process.
Body organs from China also seem to be an irresistible resource for a number of nearby Asian countries with chronic donor shortages. In Hong Kong, for example, only fifty-five kidney transplants were performed in 1990, but there was a waiting list of some 600 patients.(82) Shortages in Hong Kong, as in some other Asian countries, are due in large part to a traditional belief that bodies should be buried intact and that "desecration" of the body is to be avoided. (This belief is also widely held in mainland China, but it is apparently not an obstacle because of the ready availability of condemned prisoners.)(83) Despite strong official disapproval by Hong Kong's medical profession and recent government legislative proposals designed to limit the circumstances where prisoners' organs may be accepted for transplant, patients from Hong Kong continue to travel to China for relatively affordable, but often medically dangerous transplant operations.(84)
