Chinese doctor recounts organ harvesting victim being alive and watching him
2023-08-13
[WND] As far back as 2004, WND was reporting how China was selling the organs of its executed prisoners, perhaps the beginning of what is considered now to be a billion-dollar organ transplant industry.

A few years later, the atrocities were documented in a religious liberties report and over the past few years, an expert warned Congress the industry was responsible for some 50,000 deaths a year and GOP members of Congress demanded that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken do something to fight the process.

But now a new report from Epoch Times has taken the horror of such atrocities to a new level.

#10  Given the general state of health care in China, and the level of air, water, and soil pollution, I would feel no more comfortable getting a replacement organ than I am eating foodstuffs or medicines from there. Hepatitis is just the beginning.

#7  Organ transplant tourism is big business in China. A big database of designated donors exists so waiting times are nonexistent if you have the money.

Transplant surgery and meds are expensive. Organ rejection is common. The procedure is likely only available to CCP higher ups.

#5  I remember a Burg article a while ago about new medical procedures being "researched/practiced" where organs were harvested form live bodies which were "brain-dead". My google-fu sucks on this one, does anyone remember the name of the procedure or possible the article it was linked to?

#4  I remember reading a science fiction story about a society where the government was selling organs of condemned prisoners. At first, the death penalty was only for heinous offenses like murder. But as people realized how valuable these organs were - especially to those who could afford them - they started executing people for less serious offenses. The protagonist of the story was on death row for running a red light.
Slippery slope indeed.

#3  Up here in Canuckistan we have "Medical Assistance in Dying" AKA "MAID" providing organs for anyone who might need one UNLESS one is unvaxxed in which case you are out of luck, buddy.

This is all the start of a slippery slope. I don't like the slant of this at all. It's too disorienting. I'm done.
