【新唐人2015年1月31日訊】有關器官移植供體來源問題，在中國大陸一直是一個敏感的話題。日前，中共媒體突然對外宣布，自今年1月1號起「停止使用死囚器官」，全面使用「公民自願捐贈」的器官。由於此前中共當局一直因為涉嫌「活摘法輪功學員器官」而受到國際社會的譴責還有質疑，當局在此時突然宣佈「停止使用死囚器官」的用意，被指慾蓋彌彰。
1月28號，中共喉舌媒體《人民日報》發表了題《中國全面停止使用死囚器官，專家稱，器官移植不會出現供應短缺》一文。報導稱，自1月1號起，中國169傢俱有器官移植資質的醫院，「全面停止使用死囚器官」，公民「自願」捐獻成為器官移植供體的唯一來源。
在官方報導中，原中共衛生部副部長，現任中共器官移植委員會主席黃潔夫承認，一直以來，中國公民自願捐獻器官數量較低，「死囚器官是器官移植的主要來源」，而且當局採用的「由地方司法部門與移植醫院獲取死囚器官」的方式是不透明的。
而在此之前，中共當局曾多次公開否認使用死囚器官，從2001年到2006年，中共前外交部發言人章啟月、秦剛，中共前衛生部新聞發言人毛群安，都曾在記者會上公開聲明「從死刑犯身上摘取器官進行器官移植的情況，完全是謊言」，「大陸器官主要來源於公民在去世時候的自願捐贈。」
直到2006年11月，中共當局忽然改口，承認「大多數移植器官來自於死刑犯」，令外界嘩然。那麼是甚麼原因使當局態度發生了180度大轉彎呢？
《追查迫害法輪功國際組織》負責人汪志遠：「這幾年中共器官移植主要是來源活摘法輪功學員器官，不是死囚犯。死囚犯是在2006年活摘法輪功學員器官黑幕曝光之後，全世界的關注、質疑，中共沒辦法的情況下拿死囚犯做搪塞的一個理由。」
原來，在2006年3月，大陸一位器官移植醫生的妻子，首次通過海外中文媒體《大紀元時報》，指證中共有系統的活摘法輪功學員器官，用於器官移植。隨後，《追查迫害法輪功國際組織》開始對活摘事件展開了獨立調查，獲取公布了大量證據，震驚國際社會。
汪志遠：「從我們追查國際掌握的大量證據證明，中國自從1999年以後，爆炸性增長的器官來源主要是法輪功學員。前不久追查國際公布的一個證據，原中共解放軍衛生部部長白書忠，在接受追查國際調查中，供認出是由江澤民親自下命令提示，要用法輪功學員器官做器官移植。」
然而，中共承認使用死刑犯器官後，又因成為世界上唯一系統地從死刑犯身上摘取器官進行移植的國家，而受到了國際社會和人權組織的強烈譴責。另一方面，越來越多有關中共活摘法輪功學員器官牟取暴利的證據，也引發了國際社會的日益關注。
正當海內外聚焦中共器官移植的重重疑點之際，當局卻拋出了「停止使用死囚器官」的「新政」，背後用意迅速受到質疑。
汪志遠：「我覺得它這是兩個目的，一個是應付國際社會對使用死囚犯不人道的譴責。第二個是掩蓋用法輪功學員器官移植的罪惡。」
時事評論員藍述：「承認它摘取死刑犯的器官，實際上就是通過承認次要罪行來掩蓋主要罪行，它就是這麼一個目的。」
時事評論員藍述指出，從死刑犯身上摘取器官雖然不人道，但國際社會很難因此而指責中共犯下了反人類罪，但是從良心犯和法輪功學員身上去摘取器官的行為，就是百分之百的反人類罪，性質完全不同，因此中共當局寧願冒著國際社會的譴責，也要承認「死囚器官是器官移植的主要來源」，甚至「獲取方式不透明」。
但新的問題又出現，單靠公民「自願」捐贈，真的可以滿足中國龐大的器官移植需求嗎？人們拭目以待。

Chinese Media: Ban Organs From Executed Prisoners.
Organ transplant donors have always
been a sensitive issue in China.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda media
claimed China would ban using organs from executed
prisoners and only accept voluntary donors starting from
Jan. 1, 2015.
The CCP has been accused of harvesting organs
from living Falun Gong practitioners.
The ban of using organs from prisoners on death row
has been criticized as a cover up.
On Jan. 28, People’s Daily said that the ban of organs from
executed prisoners will not cause a shortage of donors.
It claimed that starting on Jan. 1, all 169 organ transplant
facilities will stop using organs from prisoners on death
row but use only voluntary donor organs.
People”s Daily cited Huang Jiefu, head of the national organ
transplant committee, admitting that volunteer organ donors
have been relative low in China, and death row prisoners
have been the main source of organ transplants.
He also acknowledged the opaque procurement conducted
by local judiciary systems and transplant facilities.
However, the CCP has denied the use of death row prisoners”
organs on multiple occasions in the past.
Between 2001 and 2006, several officials such as Foreign
Ministry spokespersons Zhang Qiyue, Qin Gang, and Health
Ministry spokesman Mao Qun’an, have openly stated that
harvesting organs from executed prisoners is simply a lie.
They claim that voluntary donors are the main source
of organs in China”s organ transplant process.
In Nov. 2006, the CCP finally admitted that the majority
of organs were taken from executed prisoners.
It shocked the world, but it is also questioned
why the CCP suddenly changed its tone.
World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun
Gong (WOIPFG) spokesman Dr. Wang Zhiyuan” “Living
Falun Gong practitioners have become the main source
of organs in recent years, not the executed prisoners.
The executed prisoners are used as an excuse for the CCP to
deny the accusation of its crimes exposed in 2006 about the
live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners."
In March 2006, a Chinese surgeon”s wife testified to the
systematic organ harvesting from living Falun Gong
practitioners through overseas Chinese media, Epoch Times.
The subsequent independent research effort that WOIPFG
has collected and published massive and shocking evidence.
Dr. Wang Zhiyuan: “Our data has confirmed that since 1999,
the explosive growth of organ sources in China has mainly
come from Falun Gong practitioners.
Just recently, we have also obtained new evidence from
former PLA Health Department director Bai Shuzhong.
He acknowledged that Jiang Zemin personally ordered the
use of Falun Gong practitioners as the sources of organs."
Since the CCP admitted using organs from executed prisoners,
China has been criticized for being the only country that
systematically harvests organs from death row prisoners.
Meanwhile, the evidence that the CCP profited through live
organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners has also
caused increasing concerns across the world.
What is the intention to ban the use of executed prisoners
as donors when its donor sources are questioned?
Dr. Wang Zhiyuan:, “I believe it has two purposes.
One is to ease the blame of inhumane conduct against
the prisoners on death row.
The other is to cover up its crime in forcibly live organ
harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners."
Commentator Lan Su, “Its main purpose is to cover up its
main evil acts by admitting its secondary crime, the use of
death row prisoners."
Lan Su indicates that as inhumane as it is to procure organs
from death row prisoners, it is not a crime against humanity.
But, forcible organ harvest from prisoners of conscience
and Falun Gong practitioners is a crime against humanity.
The different nature of the crimes has the CCP take the blame
and admit the use of death row prisoners as the main organ
donors along with opaque procurement procedures.
But the problem now is that if “voluntary" donations will
meet the huge demand for organ transplants in China.
We will have to see.
