Organ Harvesting in China: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Ethan Gutmann:

We believe kidney transplants probably account for the majority of cases but liver transplants have clearly caught up in China. China is the number one destination for liver transplants. The country is ahead of the rest of the world by far in terms of heart transplants, lung transplants and so forth. In fact, I am missing a spleen and China is the only country where it is possible to have a spleen transplant.
