Organs and murder for salePosted by Joel Martinsen, June 21, 2006 5:36 PM
 From Beijing comes this sticker advertising organ sales:
The Mirror reports that on Monday, Beijing police found 500 different ads amounting to a total of 50,000 copies in an apartment in Fengtai District. 
The New Culture View reporter's contact claimed to have been in the business for six years. Police suspected that it was scam, and that the "assassins" would run off with the deposit. Lawyers consulted by the paper said that either way, it was still illegal. Links and Sources

 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Organs and murder for sale
The private detective's hired vengeance service would be ideal to use on American lawyers during a negotiation.
Lawyers consulted by the paper said that either way, it was still illegal.
How sweet, the paper does its research and actually ASKS a lawyer to check if it is indeed illegal to pay people to GBH or kill a person....not bad...I like that attitude of completeness in the article. I guess those journalists thought their readers could not be trusted and had to be instructed NOT to use the service. Economics with socialist characteristics....
In fact it's often a cheat,they need you pay a part of fee first ,then no result.
There are other same advertisings, for example ,the are hiring a "pimp" (not cocotte) about 20kRMB/month),even weapon for sale.
I think it is wrong for the world to moralise about something they are not looking deeper into. It is almost like going against israel for the occupation of lebabnon after the have suffered for so many years without the intervention of the world.
For one to sell an organ, he has come to the point where he feels there is no other way out. And is probably suicidal...and feels that this would be a better option because he lives and gives life to another!
Look at it from that angle! And not this angle that is purely based on theory that has no experience in ones difficulties.
