13. China had to do something? Maybe.
But I think the world has to do something about China, if this excerpt is to be believed (and I believe it).

"China's critics contend that the transition from firing squads to injections in death vans facilitates an illegal trade in prisoners' organs.

Injections leave the whole body intact and require participation of doctors. Organs can "be extracted in a speedier and more effective way than if the prisoner is shot," says Mark Allison, East Asia researcher at Amnesty International in Hong Kong. "We have gathered strong evidence suggesting the involvement of (Chinese) police, courts and hospitals in the organ trade."

I remember, in the not too distant past, that people's dogs were being clubbed to death in front of them on the street, in Beijing I believe. The government had decided that dogs were a health menace, because there were so many strays on the street.

I thought then that the government in China is devoid of compassion and respect for life. This confirms my belief.
