Letter to the Editor: Chinese Courts Become Black Markets for Living Human Organs

An Epoch Times reader
Apr 25, 2006

Chinese courts governed by the Chinese communist regime have now transformed the mechanisms used to punish prisoners into primary underground markets for stealing and selling living human organs.

I have a neighbor who is 57-years-old man and had suffered diabetes for many years. In December 2005, he turned to Shanghai's Changzheng Hospital to get a kidney transplant. After 15 days, a suitable kidney was found for him. The patient said he bought the living kidney from a court for 23,000 yuan (US$2,870.7). In addition to the amount of money, he also paid 10,000 yuan ($1,248) as a gift. The trader in the court told him that the kidney was stolen from a 23-year-old man from Henan Province to supply for a high quality live kidney transplantation, which assured my neighbor. What cruel and heartless deeds they have done!

There is also a cadre at my work who got uremia, requiring a kidney transplant to keep alive. In December 2005, within several days, he found a kidney suitable for transplant in a hospital of Changchun City. The kidney transplant in this patient, who has now been back at work for months, was very successful.
