I think that these two journalists of this report didn't understand one crucial point of this issue: Foreigners are allowed to come to China for the organ transplant. But they are not allowed to come to China for this operation with just a tourist visa (which actually bans the illegal operations.) This is what the witness said in this report, Zhai Xiao Mei, Director of the Beijing Research Centre on Bioethics, speaks in chinese but is not fully translated in this report. Any of you who understand chinese are welcome to check in this report whether I am right.

One witness in this report says that many patients from Middle East whose operations are paid by their country. Why? Because it is not an underground trade but a legal medical help with international treaties. However, this report makes it like the trade is really ugly because it involves a lot of money.

So the truth behind this report is: before, foreigners come to China to profit the organ operation because of the low price and the sufficient organ resources. In order to put a ban for organ business, China set up a new regulation that foreigners have to come with clear motivation of organ operation to have a visa under the control of authorities. Leaving aside the topic that whether China should stop the death penalty, which is not the subject of this report, the organ transplant is neither illegal nor ugly. It’s helpful and human.

All the witness of this report didn’t really serve this subject except that one witness say that the operations are secret which means they don’t publicize what they do (I don’t speak Arabic but I would give them the benefit of doubts). But where on earth do hospitals advertise their what they do? In France, do we see the advertisement of the public hospitals? Let’s just try to be just… and understand more about the issue instead of defining it as ugly, traffic and so on… Take off the glasses of prejudice and snob then judge. It’s smart to get enough attention during the Beijing Olympic, but there is a journalist limit. Watch out!

China is already famous for its human baby exports - so why not organs! Brokers and buyers in both cases fall under International Law's against human trafficking and slavery.
