Wang Guoqi, a Chinese doctor told the House of Representatives subcommittee on human rights that Chinese doctors harvested the organs to profit from foreign transplant patients. "Any clear-sighted person can see that this is a vicious slander against China by very peculiar individuals," Zhang said. "Some people will churn out sensational lies denigrating China to achieve their personal goals". China denied it harvested organs from executed prisoners, including from some not quite dead.Michael Parmly, principal deputy assistant secretary of state, said the U.S. government voiced its concern over the accusations of organ harvesting in a diplomatic discussion on June 24 with Chinese officials.Some U.S. lawmakers want to ban training visits to the United States by Chinese doctors in a bid to deter organ harvesting, arguing that doctors could use these trips to recruit potential transplant patients to come to China.
