SHENZHEN: More than 6,000 people have registered to donate organs in this southern city.
The overwhelming support is contrary to a traditionally held belief among many Chinese that the body should remain untouched after death.
The residents registered with the Red Cross Society of China after the closure of the city's organ donation center in 2004.
