Frozen plea: Do they kill prisoners to sell their organs? | Chronic

"Transplant tourism" is a myth that has been flying over China for some time. It is said that in a few days you can access an organization on the black market, while in other countries, the legal term is several years.

A newspaper article published by the New York Post has the testimony of Zheng Qiaozhi, former trainee of Shenyang Army General Hospital in China, who courageously encouraged him to tell what he has experienced. Currently, the man has moved to Canada where he lives under a false identity.

In the text, the witness recalled the arrival of a prisoner, bound hand and foot, in the medical establishment, the only thing he knew was that he was under 18 and that he was "in good health". In the story, the man explained how the navy doctor had asked him to remove the kidneys, and then put them in a special container for transplants.

In principle, the "donors" would belong to Muslim minorities, who are arrested to be examined and corroborate the state of the organs, to see if they are likely to be sold.

According to the New York Post, "tourists" who visit the country through an organ receive no information about the "donors" that these organs have. They reported that experts estimate that between 60,000 and 100,000 organs are transplanted each year to China, with a cost of up to US $ 170,000, making it a multi-million dollar industry.
