Regulation banning human organ trade takes effect – Xinhua

The purchase and sale of human organs is now banned in China after a new regulation came into effect on Saturday.

Strict rules have also been imposed on human organ transplants in response to fierce overseas criticism of China’s transplant industry.

Hospitals will be banned from taking organs without written consent from the donor, and donors are entitled to withdraw their decision at the last minute, according to the regulation, which was drawn up and made public in March 2006. [Full Text]
