Selling your body in China

Posted in China, Human Rights by Elliott Back on June 22nd, 2006.

Danwei has an article describing two advertisements in Chinese newspapers and fliers.  One, from a self-described “healthy individual” offered to sell healthy organs to anyone “in need.”  The other offered to stalk a person, or inflict vengeance in the form of cutting off an arm or leg.

“We can cut hands, feet, or we can ‘do’ someone directly. But that’s the most expensive – it costs 50,000 yuan.”

Sounds like what the Mafia used to do for free in the US.
