In the era of the all-people internet, everyone is immersed in the sea of information, and the amount of information each day is so vast that everyone can only become fragmented atomized individuals. In fact, for most ordinary people, the vast majority of information every day is not only useless, but also potentially toxic. The information we each can see is basically precisely controlled in the big data era.
Only by going through those layers of information filtering purifiers can we know which information is truly crucial and critical for each of us ordinary people.
Yesterday (October 20, 2023), this news information appeared on the internet, which Leng Yue believes almost no one noticed, and Leng Yue didn’t notice it either at the time.
It was by chance today that Leng Yue saw such a quiet piece of news information.
Looking across the entire internet, Leng Yue only found that only a few major media outlets had made positive reports:
These days, because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you will be bombarded with the conflict between Israel and Palestine on countless internet platforms and self-media, and the structure of articles and videos is basically as follows: The US is too bad, Israel is too bad, the Jews are too bad, Palestinian refugees are so pitiful, Syria, Iran and other countries are preparing to attack Israel, and then which countries have won, which countries are going to prepare to encircle Wei and save Zhao······ Blah blah blah······
In addition, things like a man eating mussels and spitting out multiple pearls, which is very rare, immediately hiding them, a woman spending 800 yuan to have her car hoisted to the roof to prevent water damage, which is too impulsive! A woman quarreling with her boyfriend and angrily scratching a 160,000 yuan Hermes bag······ These can also make it to the trending searches.
However, the revision of the ‘Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation (Draft)’ was passed, and there wasn’t even a chance for a big splash on the entire internet!
Trending searches, don’t even think about it.
What most Chinese people today don’t know is: The ‘Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation (Draft)’ is the first revision in 16 years after the previous draft was released and implemented in 2007.
That is to say, for various comprehensive reasons in between, there was no revision passed for 16 years.
This revision changes the name of the regulations from ‘Transplantation Regulations’ to ‘Donation and Transplantation Regulations’, adding the word ‘Donation‘. The National Health Commission made the following explanation: *Highlighting the importance of organ donation, strengthening the praise and guidance for organ donation, adhering to the principles of voluntary and free of charge**, and improving the conditions and procedures for organ donation in accordance with the Civil Code.
In terms of improving the human organ donation system, the revision of the ‘Regulations’ adds a statement that the state encourages citizens to donate human organs after death. That is, ‘The state encourages citizens to donate human organs after death, and through the establishment of a human organ transplantation work system, carries out the publicity and promotion of human organ donation, determines the list of human organ transplant appointment holders, and organizes and coordinates the use of human organs.’
The revision of the ‘Regulations’ adds relevant provisions on the acquisition and allocation management of human organs. Medical institutions engaged in human organ transplantation perform human organ transplantation surgery and can charge the following fees: related medical expenses such as hospitalization and surgery incurred by human organ transplantation, managed in accordance with medical service price; and the organ acquisition related fees paid to the human organ acquisition organization, including human organ assessment, removal, preservation, maintenance, repair, allocation and transportation, etc.
What does this sentence mean?
In fact, it means that organ donors donating their organs is a voluntary, free of charge behavior. In principle, organ donors and their direct relatives cannot receive any compensation, but after organ transplantation, the ‘human organ acquisition organization‘ for organ donation and transplantation can charge organ acquisition related fees from patients who need organ transplantation.
So, what are the main organizations and participants in human organ donation and transplantation in China?
In addition to the functional departments of the national health-related organizations, the revised ‘Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation’ stipulates: ‘Further clarify and refine the responsibilities of the Red Cross Society in carrying out organ donation-related work, and stipulate that Red Cross Societies at all levels shall participate in and promote the publicity, registration, donation witnessing, and memorial work of human organ donation in accordance with the law.’
This actually provides a legal basis for the Red Cross Societies at all levels in China to better carry out human organ donation work.
The Red Cross Society of China has been a social welfare organization with excellent reputation for many years, but since the outbreak of the Guo Meimei incident in 2011, the reputation of the Red Cross Societies at all levels in China has been questioned by many ordinary Chinese people.
On June 21, 2011, a netizen named ‘Guo Meimei baby’ on Sina Weibo, who claimed to ‘live in a big villa and drive a Maserati’, was certified as ‘General Manager of China Red Cross Commercial’.
The Guo Meimei incident broke out as a result.
Because of the Guo Meimei incident, Zhao Lizhen, the vice president of the Shenzhen Red Cross Society, openly admitted that the public’s trust in the Red Cross Society had fallen to its lowest point in history.
Since the ‘Guo Meimei incident’, the special account for medical assistance funds of the Shenzhen Red Cross Society has received almost ‘0’ social donations. Apart from some pre-arranged designated donations, there was only one designated donation of 100 yuan to Wu Changkai in more than a month.
At the end of 2019, the Wuhan new crown epidemic broke out, and the Wuhan Red Cross Society repeatedly topped the trending search list for more than 2 months, presenting a state of internet trending search domination, but the Wuhan Red Cross Society basically faced the public’s full screen of doubts······
Now, the Red Cross Societies at all levels in China will shoulder the important mission of ‘participating in and promoting the publicity, registration, donation witnessing, and memorial work of human organ donation in accordance with the law’!
Since the implementation of the ‘Regulations on Human Organ Transplantation’ in 2007, China has initially established a human organ donation and transplantation work system that meets the national conditions. Posthumous organ donation by citizens has become the main source of transplant organs, and the number of donations and transplants ranks second in the world for organ and body donation, and the transplantation service capacity and quality have reached the international advanced level.
In fact, this is really not an easy task.
For thousands of years, Chinese people have been deeply influenced by Confucianism, ‘the body, hair and skin are received from parents, and dare not to be damaged’, so ‘the dead are the greatest’.
Therefore, for human organ donation and transplantation work to truly run well in China, it still needs a lot of effort and persistent work.
We must understand that human organ transplantation involves many aspects of the human body and society, and many topics cannot be discussed publicly······
