For some (probably disturbing) reason, the question "is Chinese food made from real Chinese people?" just popped into my head. :worried:

The only problem is that the Chinese-built refrigerators will all fail, and the organs will all go bad on the way back to the hospital. Is anyone else reminded of the organ-donation scene from The Meaning of Life?

The only thing that really disturbs me is the streaming video of it.

You know, I HONESTLY don't see anything wrong with that concept, from an abstract point of view.

To be honest, neither do I. Except the treaming video part. Heck, I know Tsuki and I support that happening in the states.

I don't, personaly, have a problem with using the organs of executed criminals to help people live. That way they're at least helping society in death. A nice way to properly pay back their past deeds.

Though China's definition of an offense punishable by death is a bit wonky (or any crime, for that matter), that is technically beside the point of the concept. Yes, though, harvesting the organs of executed people (if the method of execution doesn't harm them) is no more problem than any other dead guy's organs - separate from the justness of the execution, of course.
