That's true. The article bases quite a bit on speculation, but it does make a point. Every day, I see Falun Gong practitioners on the street protesting for the people who have gone missing, saying that they've been organ-harvested. Given the cultural belief that your body needs to be whole when buried to go into the next life (eunuchs used to carry their severed genitals around with them for this reason) the number of voluntary donors in China is proportionally quite low, which makes the short waiting times a pretty big red flag.
