- The transaction is safer because it's certainely under high officials' care. The proof is that rarely discovered operations as such (but when Japan is involved how can chinese goverment resist) As well as the ease with which they find compatable "donors"--namely by executing a prisoner (criminal or political) who's a match. It's truly despicable.
But that's the thing: it wasn't open hypocrisy. They literally could not make the logical connection between being willing to receive a donatd organ and becoming donors themselves. This is one of the most striking aspects of Japan to me (and many other non-Japanese with whom I've spoken): that its citizens can so often completely mentally dissociate facts which are so obviously associated to citizens of many other places around the world.
