China selling prisoners' organs: report
A group of top British surgeons has accused China of unethically harvesting the bodies of executed convicts for transplant organs that are then sold to the highest bidder, according to a media report.
British Transplantation Society chairman Stephen Wigmore says there is growing evidence that convicts were being selected for execution to suit the needs of paying organ recipients, a report on the BBC website says.
Dr Wigmore is also reported as saying that thousands of organs are being collected without donors' prior consent.
[A huge lucrative black market for human organs has emerged in China as a result of a chronic shortage of donors.]
