[quote=LIONPOWER,229913]"This is the first regulation of its kind introduced by the central government, and it is a milestone in the country's organ transplant history," said Huang Jiefu, vice health minister, adding that the regulation is in line with international standards of medical ethics and the World Health Organization's guiding principles on the issue. Last year, the country's organ transplant sector was accused by overseas media of using transplanted organs from executed prisoners, who were not necessarily voluntary donors. The accusations were denied by officials. Ni Shouming, a spokesman for China's Supreme People's Court, emphasized that organs of executed prisoners were used for transplants only when the death inmates had voluntarily expressed their intention to donate their organs, or their families had given consent to such usage.[/quote]
