Madame Mao was dissapointed by last night's BBC special report on China which claimed that organs were being removed from prisoners facing execution and sold to lucrative foreign markets.
While political prisoners may be paraded through football stadiums in front of the masses with a gun to the back of their
head and a rope around their neck you should not be dissuaded that prisoners donate their organs of their own free choice. A gift to society, as one official said.
Think of those little donor cards from the seventies. Purely benign.
Just because China executes 10,000 prisoners per year and that death is the punishment for over 64 criminal charges, including tax evasion and fraud, people feel the need to use rightist terms such as cornea harvesting. This is wrong and serves to remind us only of the impact that counter revolutionary thought can have on destabilising our health service, which is a legitimate organ of revolution.
One must not forget that in the West NHS delivery and store men are taking strike action to save the health service by defending bloated salaries and pension benefits at the expense of front line primary care staff.
All power is relative. Whether it is from the barrel of gun or out the back door of an ambulance.
