Organ transplantation is getting back its "true" luster in China.

Zhiyong Guo1, Yao Lu1.   

Abstract

Although a great success has been made in the field of organ transplantation in China, the practice of organ donation from executed prisoners has long been rebuked by the international transplant community. The "boycott" attitude of western countries has stifled the development of transplant science and medicine in China. With the efforts of the Chinese government and transplant community, a voluntary organ donation system has been successfully established. The medical authorities have committed that the practice of using organs from executed prisoners will be abandoned in the near future. It is time for a big hug from the international transplant community to its Chinese partner. And it is time for a rapid development of organ transplantation in China.
