China has been accused of harvesting organs from living prisoners for transplants, according to shock new research.Since 1984, harvesting organs from executed prisoners has been legal in China but human rights groups have become increasingly concerned the authoritarian state has been operating on some prisoners before they are dead.China has some of the shortest waiting times for transplants in the world despite the fact it has relatively low numbers of people signed up to donate their organs, News.com.au reported.New research from Australian National University’s Mathew Robertson has found it is likely some prisoners, often from marginalised political groups, were operated on while still alive.The report was published in the American Journal of Transplantation and looked to establish whether a prisoner was classified as ‘brain dead’ before they were harvested for their organs.“Our concern is whether the transplant surgeons establish first that the prisoners are dead before procuring their hearts and lungs,” he wrote.He found in 71 reports that ‘brain death could not have properly been declared’ in Chinese transplant publications.“In these cases, the removal of the heart during organ procurement must have been the proximate cause of the donor’s death,” he wrote.“Because these organ donors could have only been prisoners, our findings strongly suggest that physicians in the People‘s Republic of China have participated in executions by organ removal.”To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here .
