“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.

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.”
