"Forced cutting kidneys" highlights the lack of humanity in organ donation

25-year-old Xiao Hai applied for a medical device sales company. After a tedious entry examination, Xiao Hai was hired. Later in a business trip, Xiao Hai was placed in hospital by the company. After drinking the water from the nurses, Xiao Hai slept and fell awake the next day and discovered that a kidney had been removed. The boss left Xiaowan with a 30,000 yuan “salvage” but was not enough to pay for post-operative medical expenses. (Yangtze Evening News, September 18)

In recent years, the "forced kidney cutting" incident has often been heard. Not to mention the various horror legends circulating on the Internet, reports from regular media are not two. Previously, the young man Hu Jie was caught in the news of the kidneys' underground trading brokerage, which had caused great concern in the society as a whole. We must, of course, condemn the illegal use of human beings who engage in underground trading of human organs and the black heart hospitals that provide conditions for aiding illegal transactions. However, at the same time, we should also reflect on the current donation of human organs in the form of increasingly high incidence of such incidents. There is a flaw in the system.

At present, the shortage of organs in our country is very serious. According to statistics, there are about 1.5 million people who need organ transplants every year, and only about 10,000 of them can do surgery. China’s “Organ Transplantation Regulations” stipulates that the recipient of living organs is limited to the spouse’s spouse, immediate blood relatives, or a third-generation relative within the bloodline, or “there is evidence to prove that there is a person who has formed a family relationship due to assistance such as assistance”. . As a result, organ transplants will inevitably fall into an embarrassing cycle: On the one hand, a large number of patients are in desperate need of organs, and on the other hand, many good people who are interested in donating organs donate nowhere. Without organ donation, there is no organ transplant. The existence of such a system has objectively exacerbated the paralysis of illegal organ sales.

With the progress of the times, the Chinese traditional "death has to have all dead bodies" and "talk about organ donation is too arrogant" has gradually been abandoned, the full implementation of organ donation social foundation is being formed. Should we consider offering some institutional guarantees to those who are good at heart, at least not giving them artificial obstacles to setting up organ donation? This is a good thing that really benefits the country and the people.

Earlier media reports said that Deputy Minister of Health Huang Jiefu said that it is hoped that registration for organ donation will be registered during the year when the driver’s license is obtained. It is reported that the registration will be implemented at the latest by the end of the year. Donations or non-contributions will be based on personal wishes. The donors and their families will receive certain compensation. This will of choice will be recorded in the human organ donor registration system. In fact, similar practices have matured in developed countries. In the United States, when citizens apply for a driver's license, they must register their willingness to donate their organs. They agree that the donor will mark the driver's license. If a driver is killed in a car crash, the hospital can directly remove his organs from the driver’s license after the driver’s license is checked, without the family’s consent. Even some countries still follow the "default consent" principle. For example, Spanish laws and regulations stipulate that if a citizen does not submit a request in writing to donate his organ, he will agree to donate by default. Because of this institutional guarantee, Spain is currently the country with the highest organ donation rate in the world, with 38 organ donors per million people. It is a mountain stone that can attack jade. These advanced experiences and effective systems are worthy of our study and reference.
