    China Killing Prisoners To Harvest Organs For Transplant, Tribunal Finds

    Zak Doffman

    On June 17, an independent tribunal which has been investigating "forced organ harvesting" from Chinese prisoners, including Falun Gong practitioners and Uighur Muslims, published its final judgment.

    The China Tribunal concluded that "forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale, [and] the tribunal has had no evidence that the significant infrastructure associated with China’s transplantation industry has been dismantled and absent a satisfactory explanation as to the source of readily available organs concludes that forced organ harvesting continues till today."

    Central to the tribunal's findings were estimates of the actual number of transplants taking place—far higher than official statistics, implausibly short waiting times and first-hand testimony from former detainees. Some of the organ extractions were said to have been conducted on live victims who were killed during their procedures.

      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

        There is a novel by Larry Niven, "The Patchwork Girl" - a sci-fi novel set in a future where they give people the death penalty for even minor crimes and all death sentences are basically putting the criminals into the Organ Banks because there is such a high demand for transplants.

        Apparently Niven was right about this, just wrong about the country.

            Looked at purely objectively, this is really no different than abortion, so liberals should be fine with this, right?

                  That's a common theme in several of his books, especially "The long arm of Gil Hamilton", to which "The Patchwork Girl" is a sequel. TPG explores the idea further, describing a case where some-one who Gil later proves innocent was used as a source of transplants even before being convicted.
