is the first issue. Yes, the govt and their convictions are likely corrupt and unjust.
The second issue is if the organs of executed prisoners should be harvested for folks that need them.
As I see it, they are two separate issues that
can come together in a way that poses a problem.
If the organs from prisoners in China are "purchased" then is the Chinese govt corrupt enough to execute people specifically to get the money rather than just harvesting folks that should be executed.
There probably is a serious issue with paying for organs from executed prisoners from China.
I guess part of the question is, if the organs weren't being paid for would the people be executed anyway. If it comes down to "China executes 1000 folks a year and cremates the body" or "China executes 1000 folks a year and harvests the organs", then the organs have been wasted. If the scenario was "China executes 1000 folks a year and cremates the bodies" or "China executes 2000 people a year and sells the harvested organs", then that's a problem assuming the $$$ is the real cause for the extra 1000 executions.
