A dream comes true and a new journey begins

In 2005, I myself started to learn transplant medicine as a post-graduate student. Every day I am facing a moral dilemma of using prisoner’s organ and watching patients with end-stage liver diseases in dire needs of a transplant surgery. We dreamed someday we could recover organs in the operation room rather than in elsewhere. In the same year, our government had officially admitted that transplant practice relies on death-row inmate’s organs and demonstrated China’s political will to reform the system.
