Higgly Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 Organ sales are the ultimate sin of capitalism. Organ vendors have found a way to sell life. The Chinese have banned organ sales. Make no mistake about the way the Chinese government operates. There is no messing around here. I hope they continue this tack on environmental issues. Quote "We have seen the enemy and he is us!".

DogOnPorch Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 Dang!...where's the money going to come from to maintain all the ^%$& property they bought in Canada? I was wondering why the lawns weren't getting cut. Apparently this 'ban' is due to liability issues on their part rather than reaching some higher moral ground. Several wealthy foreigners have died, apparently. Meanwhile China continues to pollute the planet like it's the dawn of the industrial age. China from space...note the plume of pollution pouring off the entire country like it's a massive smoke stack. The grey and brown 'clouds' are all air pollution... http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/SeaWiFS/TE...naPollution.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------ It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice. ---Deng Xiaoping Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Yep...after a trip to Shanghai several years ago, I couldn't wait to get back to Los Angeles for "clean" air. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

By any chance were you crossing the bridge over the Huangpu River into the Pudong? Yes indeed. Like looking into the seventh gate of Dante's hell. I have the pictures to prove it.
