It's confirmed that, if you're executed by the state for treason there, you become an organ donor as part of that deal. Waste not and all that.
The speculative part is where people start making organs the main point of the whole thing, it has a great ick factor if you're doing nationalist flamewars.

There are numbers on how many people get executed there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20U.S.%2Dbased,year%20were%20executed%20in%20China https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China#... It seems unlikely that the person making prosecution and judgment decisions is also in a position to personally acquire and sell the person's organs but hey what do I know.
- Nasrudith 2y agoThere is no speculation needed - the perverse incentives are a matter of fact. Whether it has happened yet or not is academic. Sure, by some miracle the government resists them for now, but that panglossian optimistic view still leaves it a ticking timebomb.
