Two Chinese arrested in New York have been charged with conspiring to supply medical transplants cut from executed Chinese prisoners. Some body parts, such as kidneys, would be transplanted to patients in Chinese hospitals for about $30,000 a fraction of the cost of such an operation in America. Others, including the corneas from prisoners' eyes, would be shipped to America and sold to doctors for about $ 5,000 a pair.
