The NSW is finally considering a bill to stop Australian patients to go overseas to buy trafficked organ for transplant. The person purchasing a harvested for sale organ overseas will face a jail term of up to 25 years under a bill to go before NSW Parliament early next year.
In 2007 Canadians David Matas and David Kilgour published “Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China” – see http://
Today Sue Dunlevy of Sunday Telegraph reported that:day “In August this year, China announced it would begin phasing out of harvesting of organs from executed prisoners. A similar pledge was made in 2007, but China Daily reported in 2009 that 65% of their organ donations still come from convicts.”
This legislation should be followed up by the Federal Government and State/Territory jurisdictions.
