China court jails 16 for black market kidney trading
Some of the defendants carried out secret transplants, the court said
Sixteen people in China have been jailed for up to five years each for
involvement in illegal kidney transplants, state media report.
A local court said the defendants - mainly health professionals - had used
the internet to match buyers and sellers, Xinhua news agency said.
Among them were two doctors, a nurse and an anaesthetist who the court said
carried out secret transplant surgery.
A shortage of donors has led to a booming black market for organs.
China's black market for organ donations
The Lixia district court in Jinan city in China's Shandong province said
patients were asked to pay at least $57,000 (400,000 yuan).
For many years, China harvested the organs of executed prisoners to help
meet demand.
But following international condemnation, Beijing says it ended the practice
at the start of 2015.
The government has had some success in registering new legal donors, but
there are still many people waiting for transplants.
The country's donor rates are among the lowest in the world - 0.6 donations
per million people compared with 37 per million in Spain.
Many Chinese believe the body is sacred and should be buried intact in a
show of respect to their ancestors.
Trading in human organs has been banned in China since 2007. | t**x 发帖数: 20965 | 2 老中对职业医生保护不好

最明显的例证就是马王堆女尸是整尸而埃及木乃伊都是无脏器的躯体
所以,就是烧了,中国人也不会捐出内脏 |
