This seems crazy, and would act as a major disincentive to potential [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan has written about this here, apparently we can now transplant organs into people with completely different blood types.
Of course, this was done for the first time here in Australia (where all the smart people live!).
It&#8217;s an interesting read, and there was a bit of fuss here in the media a week or so ago [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a little bit of talk here where I live (Australia) about whether people should be able to sell their organs to those in need.
Now we have a (very) right wing conservative government here in Australia, and a frustrating thing about conservative governments is that they&#8217;re really good at forcing their religious views on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The Epoch times is reporting that the long persecuted Falun Gong religious sect are being used as an organ bank for China&#8217;s thriving organ transplant industry.
According to some reports, 15,000 to 20,000 organ transplants are performed in China every year, including approximately 5,000 kidney transplants.
