[quote=LIONPOWER,229910]China has carried out organ transplants for more than 20 years and is the world's second largest performer of transplants after the United States, with about 5,000 transplants completed each year. However, the absence of laws and regulations concerning organ transplants has negatively impacted practice, critics say. Most organs are donated by ordinary Chinese at death after the voluntary signing of a donation agreement. But the country must still contend with a vast gap between the demand for functional organs and the supply provided by donations. About 1.5 million patients need organ transplants each year, but only 10,000 can find organs, according to statistics from the Health Ministry.[/quote]
