Waste Not, Want Not?

Hey, it's not like they need them any more! China has finally admitted that it's been selling organs harvested from executed prisoners. Many of the recipients are said to be foreigners willing to pay big to avoid waiting lines.

One example cited by the L.A. Times was 69-year old Californian, Mabel Wu, who picked up a cherry-condition kidney in the Taiping People's Hospital for a paltry $40,000. She was told that the 'donor' was a 30-year old male. Said Ms. Wu: "I am very happy with this transplant. I got a good kidney."
