New Chinese regulation exposes organ removal

CHINA — "On March 21, 2007, the State Council Executive Meeting passed in principle a draft of the 'Human Organ Transplant Ordinance.' The ordinance particularly specified a strict ban of taking organs from citizens under 18 years for transplant.

"Experts outside of China speculate that the Chinese Communist Party had no choice but to respond to the organ harvesting crimes which have shocked the world in the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Analysts have pointed out this regulation shows that live organ removal is common in China and it happens to minors who are not supposed to be on death row."
