China

Claims that China harvests organs from live Falun Gong prisoners without consent -- then destroys their remains -- are real, according to a report from a human rights lawyer and a former MP in Canada.

The document cites an organ price published online for a transplant centre in Shenyang City, China. Corneas are $30,000 US, kidneys $62,000 US, livers $130,000 US and lungs up to $170,000 US, which would make this a most profitable trade.
