Doctors join push to end organ trade
Annabel Stafford; 28/8/08
Australian doctors will dob in Chinese hospitals that sell the organs of executed prisoners to Australian patients as part of a global push to stamp out the illegal trade in human organs. At a meeting of transplant doctors in Sydney this month, the Australian president of the International Transplantation Society promised that his members would alert Chinese authorities when a non-Chinese person travelled to China to buy an organ and would ask the authorities to explain.Society president Jeremy Chapman stressed that the society would not be dobbing in patients but hospitals, which under recent changes to Chinese law are banned from buying or selling organs.
