China Trade: CCP Sets New Regulations for Corpse Treatment
CCP Sets New Regulations for Corpse Treatment
Epoch Times Staff
Jul 22, 2006
The "Regulations for Importing and Exporting Corpse and Treatment of
Corpse" established by the Chinese Communist authorities will soon be in
effect. The regulations state that trading corpses and utilizing corpses
for commercial purposes are strictly prohibited.
According to Xinhua News Agency's report on July 15, the new regulations
were jointly enacted by nine governmental departments, including the
Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the
Ministry of Public Security, and will come into effect on August 1 of
this year.
The regulations state that no organization or individual can accept body
donations with the exception of medical establishments, medical schools,
medical and scientific research institutions, and legal medical and
scientific evaluation institutions that have clinical, educational, and
scientific research needs. The regulations also mandate that the
organization accepting the body is responsible for the interment or
funeral arrangements after use.
Bodies imported and exported for the needs of medical and scientific
research must be examined and approved according to the "Interim
Measures for the Administration of Human Genetic Resources" written and
forwarded by General Office of the State Council and the "Rules of the
Importing and Exporting Special Articles of Health and Quarantine"
formulated by the Ministry of Health and the General Administration of
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). Except for the
situations stated above, corpses cannot be imported or exported.
BBC reported that human rights groups claimed that organs from executed
prisoners in China are usually sold to hospitals without the permission
of the prisoners' relatives.
The groups also said that many hospitals in China often secretly remove
organs from deceased car accident victims, along with other patients,
without the relatives' awareness.
Analysts said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established the
aforementioned regulations after the Canadian Independent Investigation
Group released an independent report, concluding that the allegations
that vital organs are being seized from Falun Gong practitioners in
China are true. This latest move by the CCP is seen by many as an
attempt to cover up its crimes by establishing new rules and regulations.
