killing prisoners is perfectly acceptable, and their bodies can be used for
spare parts.
These organs are then sold by the state to hospitals abroad at ex-

tortionate prices. In fact, doctors in China advise patients from abroad
to wait for the public execution season. Once organs have been re-
moved from prisoners' bodies, the communist state says nothing about
how and why they will be used. As always, Communist Party officials
enjoy the highest priority. Then come foreign citizens or Chinese citi-
zens living abroad. The local population can also make use of these or-
gans only if they have the money to do so. Those with the very least
access to these organs are the ordinary poor of society, no matter how
great their need. That means the system is not for the benefit of human-
ity, but merely works to benefit Communist Party administrators and
the elite. Most of the time the system goes ahead by stealing the organs
of innocent people killed for having different beliefs or ideas than the
party.
Research has shown that some 20,000 kidney transplants were car-

ried out in China between the early 1970s and the middle of 1995. In its
1996 report, Amnesty International said that the organs of 90 percent of
people executed were removed. In its June 27, 2001, edition The
Washington Post printed claims by a doctor involved in the organ trade,
which underlined how widespread this trade was in China.
According to the story, burn specialist
Wang Guoqi, participated in more than 100 op-
erations during which organs were removed
from the bodies of dead prisoners. Guoqi
helped to collect prisoners' skin and corneas,
and witnessed how organs were sold for enor-
mous prices at the Tianjin Paramilitary Police
Dr. Wang Guoqi
General Brigade Hospital where he worked.
