One of the creators of China's current organ transplant system has revealed the plans are in place to stop transplanting organs from executed prisoners this coming year.

Huang Jiefu, the architect of China's current transplant system, says transplants will only be carried out among voluntary donors⁴ starting on January 1st.

Huang, a former deputy health minister, has made the revelation during an organ procurement⁵ seminar in Yunnan's capital, Kunming.
