Chinese Organ-Harvesters Lead the Way in Healthcare Cost Containment!

By Matthew Vadum on 8.26.09 @ 9:00PM

China's on the cutting edge --literally-- of cost-containment in government healthcare systems.

That nation finally admitted it harvests the organs of executed prisoners and uses those organs for transplantation. The organs account for two-thirds of China's transplant organs.

Perhaps ObamaCare would actually work if America started doing the same thing.

Just trying to help.

Please tell me I'm just having a nightmare and I'll wake up any minute now. Please.

Didn't they publicly state that in 2003? And the article seems to be about setting up a system to reduce abuses in organ harvesting O_o

Larry Niven, an author, wrote speculatively about organ harvesting 40 years ago. Sad to see he was right. He also speculated that once organs became truly valuable, the use of the death penalty by the state would ratchet up to provide a robust supply. I suppose we will see this too.
