Guts on Vacation

g-hearstpoolIf you were planning on taking your guts on vacation for a little organ tourism, think again. Organ tourism is a lot like sex tourism, though rather than picking up a prostitute or STDs you pick up a nice liver or kidney instead. Last week China formally announced it was ending its policy of harvesting organs from executed prisoners and starting a volunteer organ donation program nationwide, thus likely bringing an end to China's thriving black market for organs. Personally, organ tourism brings to mind visions of livers and kidneys sitting on the beach sipping daiquiris. But we know it's not quite like that.
