65%以上的器官捐赠来自死囚

China has launched a national organ donation system to try to reduce its dependence on body parts harvested from executed prisoners.
为了减少对死刑犯器官的依赖性，中国建立起了国家器官捐赠体系。

The Health Ministry and Red Cross Society of China want to encouraging the typically hesitant Chinese population to donate organs after they die.
中国卫生部和红十字协会表示，国家鼓励那些犹豫不决的民众在死后捐赠自己的器官。

The move is the country's latest step to better regulate organ donation after it emerged that more than 65 per cent of donors come from death row.
数据显示中国65%以上的器官捐赠者来自死刑犯，因此中国采取了这一新举措去更好地管控器官捐赠事务。

The new system will link potential donors with recipients and make public a waiting list of patients to increase transparency and fairness in allocating organs.
这个新体系将联系有可能捐献器官的人与受助人，并公开等候器官移植的患者名单，以增加器官分配的透明度和公平性。

The system, which launched on Tuesday, has been set up in 10 provinces and cities, including Shanghai, Tianjin and Xiamen, before being rolled out across the country.
星期二推出的这一体系已在包括上海、天津、厦门在内的10个省份和城市建立，之后还将向全国推广。

The World Health Organisation and international human rights groups welcomed the new system, saying it was in line with best practices in other countries and would likely help meet the needs of all patients.
世界卫生组织和国际团体对这一新体系表示欢迎，称它符合其他国家的最佳做法，并可能有助于满足所有病人的需要。

WHO official Dr. Luc Noel said: "We're eager to see the results and are very supportive."
世界卫生组织官员卢克·诺埃尔博士说：“我们渴望看到结果，并对它十分支持。”

He said that China's "reliance on organs from executed convicts was certainly not an option that could withstand time," and was open to abuse.
他说，中国“依赖死刑犯人的器官当然不是一种能够经受住时间考验的选择”，并且会为滥用这一选择敞开大门。

China's Vice Health Minister Huang Jiefu refused to confirm how many organ donations came from prisoners, but has acknowledged that most organs used for transplants are taken from executed prisoners--though only with prior consent.
中国卫生部副部长黄洁夫拒绝证实有多少器官是来自犯人的捐赠，但也承认，大部分用于移植的器官来自死刑犯人，尽管只是经过他们事先同意。

Condemned prisoners are "definitely not a proper source for organ transplants," the China Daily newspaper quoted Mr Huang as saying.
中国日报援引黄先生的话说，死囚“绝对不是器官移植的正确来源。”

Organ transplantation in China has long been criticised as profit-driven and unethical, with critics arguing death row inmates may feel pressured to become donors, violating personal, religious or cultural beliefs.
中国的器官移植一直被批评为受利润驱动，是不道德的。评论家们认为，死刑犯人可能会迫于压力而成为器官捐献者，这违背了其本人、宗教或文化的信仰。

Voluntary donations in China remain far below demand, partly due to cultural bias against organ removal before burial.
中国自愿捐献的器官依然远远低于需求，部分原因出于文化偏见，即反对在安葬前摘除器官。

Only about 130 people have pledged to donate their organs since 2003, according to Chen Shonghua, an organ transplant expert with Tongji Hospital in Shanghai.
据上海同济医院的器官移植专家陈松华说，自2003年以来，只有约130人已经保证捐赠自己的器官。
