IMO organ tourism is a great thing. Rich people need organs and poor people have something in their bodies that can make them (relatively) rich. Everyone wins. If I was a destitute person in India or China and giving away one of my kidneys could get me enough money to send my kids to school and buy a house I’d want that opportunity. Nobody should be discouraging it.

This is ridiculous that no mainstream news agencies are covering this. People are being tortured and killed each day and websites like cnn.com or msnbc.com don’t even have one article that aims to bring these issues to light. They’d rather run stories like “zebra escapes from local zoo” along with 10 min of home video cam footage of a man chasing a zebra around through his neighborhood. Wtf is wrong with them? The only explanation that I can think of is that all of the News Corp Rupert Murdoch owned media outlets aren’t trying to prevent public awareness about this in order to preserve america’s “Relation$” with china. Our media is on a fast track to becoming as censored as theirs… have you seen what their routers look like there? They actually have a built in “content filter” that is attached to the circuit (wireless internet circuit board pics). It’s just incomprehensible that the only word about this getting out is through pamphlets being passed around at colleges from escaped victims or on non-mainstream news sites such as this. At the rate we’re going, this could be happening in America right now and we would still have not one clue about what is going on.

@thetruthchina; Firstly, owe, reading that hurt my eyes. Secondly, the article never supports China’s old organ harvesting system, nor does it comment upon the quality of China’s judicial system; Because that wasn’t the point of the article, both those issues have been done to death in other media sources, this comment thread is not really the place for such a debate. The point of the article, seeing that it needs to be demarcated so explicitly, is to support a plausibly superior, in both a practicle and ethical sense, method of organ provision now that the ‘bad old’ Chinese system has been dissolved.

It makes sense to throw their weight behind organ synthesis – after all, they’re an export economy, and currently demand for cheap plastic shit is at a low. Medical demand? Very high.

If any country in the world can obtain enough “willing volunteers”, China is probably the one to to do it. In a country with so much control over its population, a dictate that ensures all healthy organs are harvested from anyone who dies is quite possible. Coming from a country that was freely able to extract organs from its executed prisoners, this does not seem like much of a leap.
