This is utterly atrocious and shameful, which is still an understatement.

Parents' horror as Chinese boy, 6, has his eyes GOUGED OUT after being 'kidnapped by organ trafficker who stole both his corneas'

  • Youngster snatched while playing outside home in Linfen, Shanxi Province
  • Parents found him three hours later screaming in a field covered in blood
  • Kidnapper reportedly told boy: 'Don?t cry and I won?t gouge out your eyes'
  • Illicit trade fuelled because China has 300,000 on transplant waiting list
 
Organ traffickers gouged out the eyes of a six-year-old boy to sell on China?s transplant black market, it was claimed yesterday.
 
Police said the child, Binbin, was drugged after being kidnapped while playing outside his home.
 
His family found him covered in blood and crying in pain three to four hours later. His eyes were found nearby with the corneas missing, police say, implying that an organ trafficker was behind the attack.
 
An entire eye cannot be transplanted, but a cornea could be vital for a patient with faltering vision.
 
Police are seeking a woman suspect and have offered ?10,500 for information leading to an arrest.
 
Binbin?s devastated father said: ?We didn?t notice his eyes were gone when we discovered him ? he had blood all over his face. We thought he had fallen down and smashed his face.?
 
The boy was rushed to hospital where doctors were shocked to find his eyes had been removed. His father said: ?His eyelids were turned inside out, and his eyeballs were not there.? 
 
Illegal organ harvesting is booming in China, where there is a shortage of donors, and last night, amid domestic and international outrage, Beijing was urged to crack down on the country?s multi-million-pound transplant industry.
 
Binbin was shown on state TV  being taken in bandages from an operating theatre to a hospital bed, writhing in agony as his shocked family wept.
 
China Central Television said he had been drugged and ?lost consciousness? before the attacker removed his eyes.
 
His parents discovered he was missing when they called for him to come in around 8pm on Monday but received no response.
 
After a frantic search with relatives, they found him screaming in a field near their home in Fenxi, north China. The kidnapper had reportedly told Binbin: ?Don?t cry and I won?t gouge out your eyes.?
 
China does not have a donor culture, but about 300,000 patients need transplants each year. Only about 10,000 receive organs, mainly taken from death-row prisoners. 
 
Though the sale and transplant of organs for money is prohibited, lax laws and widespread corruption have fuelled a booming industry.
 
China is also a leading destination for ?transplant tourists? who travel there to obtain organs.
 
Last night international doctors appalled by Binbin?s suffering called on leading medical journals to ban publication of Chinese research papers on organ transplants, to shame the country into tackling the problem.
 
Professor Arthur Caplan, head of medical ethics at New York University and spokesman for Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting, said: ?As unimaginable and untrue as this boy?s torment sounds, it shocks but does not surprise.
 
?Whereas hearts, livers and kidneys must be sourced from donors who match the same blood and body type of recipient patients, in-demand corneas for corrective eyesight operations can be taken from any age and body type.
 
?Anyone who knows where the corneas are located in the eye can extract them, and I fear for the unsterile conditions and the  barbaric methods used, and that infection may add to the boy?s suffering.
 
?He will suffer unthinkable physical and psychological pain.?
 
Professor Caplan urged international governments to ?stand up to China? and take action to make it clean up its transplant industry.
 
?Transplant tourists who travel to China with the right amount of money can order the organ needed,? he said. ?A prisoner is found to match the recipient and is taken out and shot.?
 
Last weekend, Chinese police detained members of a kidney- trafficking ring, including a team of four doctors and nurses.

The world is a cold and cruel place. There is no mercy. May God Bless this kid's soul.

 

God could have done better and saved this kids ass...

 

As to the scum that did this, no punishment I can think of is enough; so take the swift option. Arrest, try, convict, shoot. Just get rid of them as fast as possible.

Police: Woman Removed 6-Year-Old's Eyes

A woman tricked a 6-year-old boy into going into a field in northern China, and then gouged out his eyes, police said Wednesday.
 
The boy's brutal ordeal happened Saturday in a rural area of Linfen city in Shanxi province, the city's police bureau said in a statement. State media said the boy was recovering in a hospital, but had lost his sight permanently.
 
A police officer who only gave his surname, Liu, said he couldn't speculate on a motive because the investigation was continuing.
 
"We are sparing no efforts trying to solve this case," Liu added.
 
Liu said the boy's eyeballs were found at the scene, and that the corneas hadn't been removed.
 
State media previously had raised the possibility that the boy's corneas were taken for sale because of a donor shortage in China.
 
A news report on a provincial TV channel showed the boy writhing in pain on a hospital trolley, with bandages around his head, and his parents, both farmers, crying.
 
The Beijing Times newspaper quoted the parents of the boy, whose family name is Guo according to police, as saying that their son had told them he was walking along a path when he was grabbed by a woman. She used an unspecified tool to gouge out his eyes, they said.

Poor kid, I hope for him artificial eyes will become a reality somewhere in his lifetime. The chinese government should put more effort in getting people to donate organs instead of just being happy to get them from death row prisoners. That would make the black market less viable.

My father had a triple transplant a few years back.  I believe it was kidney, pancreas and something else - sorry I forget what.

 

He needed them very badly, and the NHS was failing - he has private healthcare but to source organs donated in the UK you have to go via the NHS for the very obvious ethical reasons.

 

He was contacted on a message board suggesting there were financially inventive ways to source them externally if he were willing to take a holiday to a number of countries.

 

Such a horrific thing, STEALING parts of peoples bodies to sell :(

Did you read the update jwjw1 posted?

Maybe she was interrupted, or maybe she was just a psychopath...
