Balanced News: Thousands of Hong Kongers cancel organ donation, prompting order for police probe

Hong Kong’s leader John Lee has ordered a police probe into the large number of cancellations of organ donor status following plans to integrate organ donations with mainland China. The government has suggested that a small number of people on the internet have called on others to cancel their registrations. The matching plan means organs with no recipients in Hong Kong could be sent to mainland China, but the biggest reason behind the cancellations is concern over the mechanism involved, with some people reluctant to donate organs to mainland China.
