“China says it plans to phase out the harvesting of organs from executed prisoners, ending a controversial practice that reportedly supplies most of the country’s transplant patients.  Beginning in November, China will scale back and eliminate the harvesting of inmate organs. Huang says that will be replaced by a nationwide voluntary donor system.  For years, Beijing denied that it routinely took organs from executed prisoners before finally acknowledging it a few years ago.  Although the number of executed prisoners is a state secret in China, human rights groups estimate the country executes thousands of people each year.”
