Transplants International

Need a kidney? Call China. Executed bodies serve you

"I see this is clearly something that I do not want to be part of," the business dealer said.

That is, the man stated that after it became known publicly what he had been doing. He was a part of selling human body parts to patients desperately in need of those parts.

The enterprise is known as "Transplants International."

There’s big money in this. a patient will die without the organ. TI promises the organ. There then are middlemen and doctors and hospitals and airflights and all that sort of network set up to see it through. Just be patient. That is, let the patient be patient. Before the patient dies, hopefully he will receive that organ from China.

Now it will probably come from an executed mortal. But in China that’s daily doings. It doesn’t raise an eyebrow in China. In other parts of the world, it has raised a few questions as well as eyebrows.

But the gist of the matter is simple: a sick person needs an organ from a well person. The well person was a prisoner in China. The prisoner was put to death but his organs are healthy. So cut out the organ, ship it abroad and make your money in the sale.

according to London Daily Telegraph’s Richard Spencer, this is quite the financial take for those who know how to do it. But there’s a lot of suspense involved, too.

That’s why the hospitals in China don’t partake. It’s the military hospitals in China that partake. That’s because the military hospitals don’t have to answer to certain laws like the non-military hospitals have to. Besides, the military hospitals have connections with the police. and the police are those in contact with the prisons. and it’s in the prisons where convicts are put to death with healthy organs inside them.

"a Chinese company has begun marketing kidneys, livers and other organs from executed prisoners to sick Britons in need of transplants. Hospital Doctor, a British magazine, earlier this month reported that a firm called Transplants International was trying to recruit British patients.

"Operations were to be carried out at Guangzhou air Force Military Hospital by doctors from a hospital affiliated with the nearby Sun Yat-sen Southern University. The Telegraph confirmed the story in an interview with the hospital's Dr. Na Ning, in which a reporter posed as someone interested in getting involved as a business venture.

"’We can sign an agreement,’ Dr. Na said over a business lunch in a smart Western restaurant. ‘We should be cautious -- this is sensitive. There is no need to bring in lawyers or consultants. We should do the agreement on trust.’"

So it goes over a sandwich. So it goes behind closed doors. So it goes in whispers and raised eyebrows. So it goes when the wallet opens with the cash.

Bottom line: Do prisons execute certain convicts so that they can get their organs for sale? a foreigner can get that organ within two weeks if he has the money for it.

"’There are spies,’ Dr. Na said. We have to be very careful.’"

a kidney could go for $40,000 to $60,000. The middleman picks up his $12,000. The rest goes to the hospital.

"Dr. Na, who spoke excellent English, showed a typical contract between the hospital and a middleman, an Indonesian, to provide patients from Vietnam. asians pay half the Western price, but Dr. Na said Western patients get VIP treatment and are sure to get the ‘best quality’ organs."

If the middleman can come up with 10 patients each month, he gets more money.

The Daily Telegraph went to the Transplants International personnel. Quickly the TI web site shut down. It had been put in place by Jonathan Hakim, Beijing businessman from the US. He went under the name of "John Harris."

"Mr. Hakim denied having supplied patients to Dr. Na in the past and added that he had decided no longer to be involved with the project. ’I see this is clearly something that I do not want to be part of,’ he said."
