Trading Human Organs in China - ESL Teaching

Jason · Thu 03-May-07, 08:55 AM

Just came back from a recent holiday in China. Interesting country to say the least. Just make sure you don't get too drunk and wake up to find yourself with a few stitches in your side and a kidney missing. Ok, so I've gone to the extreme.

Up until now there have been no regulations on human organ transplants in China. But since May 1st, China now prohibits the trade of human organ transplants. Oh well, there goes my next business venture.

However, I must point out that this new regulation does not apply to human tissue transplants such as cells, corneas or marrow.

What is this world coming too? Just be careful of what friends you make in China. They may be after something you have...

When I get time, I will upload some photos for all you guys to checkout.

So now instead of missing a kidney, I (might) expect to wake up and have a bone or two missing?

Reminds me of that episode of the family guy where Peter gets plastic surgery and then he gets into an accident and breaks all of his bone and ends up as a huge blob without any type of structure.
