China's aims are to develop an ethical and sustainable organ transplantation system for the Chinese people and to be accepted as a responsible member of the international transplantation community. In 2007, China implemented the Regulation on Human Organ Transplantation, which was the first step towards the establishment of a voluntary organ donation system. Although progress has been made, several ethical and legal issues associated with transplantation in China remain, including the use of organs from executed prisoners, organ scarcity, the illegal organ trade, and transplantation tourism. In this Health Policy article we outline the standards used to define cardiac death in China and a legal and procedural framework for an organ donation system based on voluntary donation after cardiac death that adheres to both China's social and cultural principles and international transplantation standards.
中国的目标是为中国人民开发一个符合伦理且可持续的器官移植体系，并成为国际移植界负责任的一员。2007 年，中国实施了《人体器官移植条例》，这是建立自愿器官捐献体系的第一步。尽管已经取得了一些进展，但中国的器官移植仍然存在一些伦理和法律问题，包括使用死刑犯器官、器官短缺、非法器官交易和器官移植旅游等。在这篇卫生政策文章中，我们概述了中国用来定义心死亡的标准，以及一个基于心死亡后自愿捐献的器官捐献系统的法律和程序框架，该框架既符合中国的社会和文化原则，也符合国际移植标准。
