Iirc China executes condemned prisoners on certain dates during the year, and they sell their organs on the world market.
I heard this some years ago, so I don’t know how true it is however if they bill your family for the cost of the bullet they shoot you with (which is true) I can’t see them passing up the revenue

Yeah I heard about it a lot too. But what made me doubt about this kind of dealing is the screening of the organ. Don’t they have to be compatible first to the receiver for it to be feasible? They can’t just randomly get organs from the state prisoner just because there’s someone who needs it.

Yeah but I guess they approach it like a used car dealership. If The model out front isn’t suitable for you then we’ve probably got something else that is.
I also imagine that this kind of thing would go through Chinese doctors etc.
I mean it sounds awful but if it saves some kids life when the prisoner is going to be executed anyway?
Although that’s the type of argument the Nazi doctors at Auschwitz used so I’m Lost in a moral quagmire at the moment

It was true they stopped the practice a few years ago. I don’t know about waiting till certain times of the year tho?

I remember hearing that they execute prisoners on certain dates that are significant to the regime. I guess when you don’t have to worry about things like fair trials or legal due process then it’s easier to organise 😒
