A Chinese company has begun marketing kidneys, livers and other organs from executed prisoners to sick Britons in need of transplants, the Daily Telegraph reported on 20 Dec 05.
Dr. Na said military hospitals have access to the Public Security Service the police. This means transplants that are a good match for potential donors are more readily available from the execution grounds. Foreigners, after an initial check-up, are guaranteed an organ will arrive within two weeks.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported on 22 Aug 06 that some Americans visit China, where for the right price $130,000 for a liver and $160,000 for a heart organs are available for transplantation. Many are obtained from people whose only crime was to practise a form of meditation and exercise called Falun Gong.
This week, Post-Dispatch reporter Deborah Shelton documents the case of Huangui Li, 62, who was arrested for distributing banned literature in 2001. She was taken to a medical facility, for tests to judge her suitability for organ donation. She believes her high blood pressure saved her life.
