The article discusses concerns around human rights protections surrounding plans by the Hong Kong government to share transplant organs between the city's hospitals and those in mainland China. Health secretary Lo Chung-mau is reported as saying that the city's Hospital Authority is currently discussing setting up a common computer matching system for organs and donors. There are concerns over where any organs donated from China had come from, and whether they had been harvested from executed prisoners or taken from willing donors. There are also concerns about differences in the way that brain death is declared in Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as issues around appropriate transportation facilities for organs. If the U.S. Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023 is passed, it will impose sanctions on individuals and entities involved in forced organ trafficking.
