13 An alarming medical problem arising out of Chinarsquos population is that of organ donation Each year 500000 die whose lives might have been saved at least for a while had they undergone a heart or liver transplant

In Feb 1914 Mr and Mrs Pierstorff were responsible for a rather bizarre post from Grangeville Idaho to Lewiston Idaho The justification for this was penury

13 An alarming medical problem arising out of Chinarsquos population is that of organ donation Each year 500000 die whose lives might have been saved at least for a while had they undergone a heart or liver transplant
Over the last decade this problem has spun out of control because of the halt of organ supply from a fixed source that has been a settled practice in the country The process used to supply nine-tenths of the organs transplanted in China This proportion is now halved
So what is the reason for this fall in organ sources with this donor scheme no longer lsquocarried outrsquo methodically in China
And the answer is hellip
Executed prisoners were the sources for organs
This number has fallen by three-quarters in the last decade with China slowly moving away from capital punishment

Executed prisoners were the sources for organs
This number has fallen by three-quarters in the last decade with China slowly moving away from capital punishment

I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul
In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloudUnder the bludgeonings of chanceMy head is bloody but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shadeAnd yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid

I am the master of my fateI am the captain of my soulrdquo
