"China said that it planned to end the practice of taking organs from executed prisoners within three to five years, according to the state media report on Friday.
Instead, China’s vice minister of health Dr. Huang Jiefu said that the country will rely on a new national donation system for organ transplants at a conference in the city of Hangzhou on Thursday."

That's right. Oh It Can't Be True ... IS.
And wait.. There's more !
Chinese Children stolen and killed for their organs == Urban Legend ?
No. True.
"The state media reported that the government adopted a revision to China's Criminal Law to single out criminal activity related to transactions involving human organs. Criminals convicted of "forced organ removal, forced organ donation or organ removal from juveniles" could face homicide charges as a result of the revision, Xinhua said."
BLECH.

Maybe so, but hopefully Microsoft will be able to improve that situation.
