Organ transplantation is getting back its “true” luster in China

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