China's secretly harvests the organs of prisoners

Communist China’s forced organ harvesting

• "It’s simply impossible that those 10,000 people executed would match perfectly the 10,000 people that needed the organs.”

US lawmakers have called for pressure on China to stop the use of organs from executed inmates, as experts charged that transplants had become a business that may target prisoners of conscience.

At a congressional hearing, experts said the United States could act by restricting its citizens from seeking suspicious transplants overseas and by pressing Chinese doctors through international professional organizations.

China acknowledges it has relied on executed inmates for transplants but has promised to curb the practice within five years. But it has strongly denied that it deliberately executes prisoners to harvest organs.

Representative Chris Smith, a Republican long active on human rights, voiced concern at charges that prisoners from the banned Falungong spiritual movement and ethnic minority groups were singled out.

“This possibility — and this probability — pushes us into the horrific beyond that challenges our language, making ‘barbaric’ too calm of a word,” Smith said at the hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.


Killed for Organs: China's Secret State Transplant Business
It's being called "abhorrent" and a "crime against humanity." Allegations of forced organ harvesting in China started to surface in 2006. Since then, mounting evidence suggests these allegations are true—and even worse than originally suspected.

Prisoners of conscience—especially Falun Gong—are being killed for their organs.

Starting in 1999, the number of transplant centers in China increased by 300% in just 8 years, even though China has no effective national organ donation system. 1999 was the year the Chinese regime began persecuting adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice, sending hundreds of thousands to labor camps. Many of them were never seen again.

Transplant medicine was developed to save lives. But in China, innocent people are being killed for their organs—so they can be sold for profit.

Increasingly, doctors, congressmen, international politicians, human rights lawyers, journalists, and people around the world are raising awareness about forced organ harvesting.
