Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Do people in the states do this too? Is it legal there? Chaim Boermeester, Israel 250 Israelis sought organ transplants in China over past few years Published: 01.30.07, 21:39 Some 250 Israelis have undergone organ transplant surgery in China over the course of the last few years – this according to data presented on Tuesday to the Centre for Ethics in Jerusalem. Dr. (Jay) Lavie, who heads the heart transplant unit at the Sheba hospital in Tel Hashomer, noted that he has evidence that some of the organs were taken from inmates on death row in China. Lavie emphasized that he does not blame the patients, who are in desperate need of transplants, but said that there is no official governmental body dealing with the issue.
