China admits death row organ use
Found on BBC News on Wednesday, 26 August 2009
According to the China Daily newspaper, executed prisoners currently provide two-thirds of all transplant organs.
Human rights groups have often criticised China for its lack of transparency over organ donation, but critics have focused particular concern on the use of body parts from executed prisoners.
Amnesty International said at least 1,718 people were given the death penalty in 2008.
I wonder if the relatives get anything back from that. After all, they are billed for the ammunition used to shoot the prisoner. So it would be just fair to give them the money made through the sale of those organs.
