Study: China Harvesting Organs from Tens of Thousands of Political Prisoners Annually

Human rights researchers have published an updated study accusing China of conducting tens of thousands of organ transplants using the bodies of political prisoners without their consent. While the practice has been known to occur in the communist nation for decades, Beijing alleges that it long stopped harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience.

Former Canadian lawmaker David Kilgour, human rights lawyer David Matas, and journalist Ethan Gutmann have released an update to their respective projects documenting the use of political prisoner bodies in hospitals to conduct organ transplants. The update to their respective works “Bloody Harvest” and “The Slaughter,” suggests that the Chinese government regularly imprisons “primarily practitioners of the spiritually-based set of exercises, Falun Gong, but also Uyghurs, Tibetans, and select House Christians,” and transfers their bodies to hospitals after executing them “in order to obtain organs for transplants.”

The study does two things: compare the number of organ transplants on the Chinese government’s national record to the sum of the records of local hospitals, and cite numerous anecdotes from those who have seen the practice first-hand or fear their relatives have been a victim of the practice. The government does not publish information on organ donor registries – which would confirm that either all transplants are done using voluntary donors or that prisoners are used in the practice – so researchers are forced to figure out the math using the numbers available of transplants already conducted:

Chinese government statistics for transplant volumes are not necessarily reliable. One effort which needed to be made and which we finally have made is to determine on our own what Chinese transplant volumes are… We did that by looking at and accumulating the data from the individual hospitals where transplants occur. Some hospitals state their transplant volumes. For those who do not, we can, from their bed counts, personnel strength, potential patient groups, rate of growth, technological development, academic publications, and media reports, come to a conclusion on their transplant volume.

CNN breaks down the suspect numbers: 5,019 organs on record as being transplanted in 2015 remain unaccounted for, and the number of transplants not documented federally is somewhere between 50,000 and 90,000. Six hundred and twelve hospitals the researchers found conducting transplants are not on the government’s record as having approval to do so.

Adherents to Falun Gong, a spiritual movement based on meditation and holistic medicine, have been decrying illegal organ harvesting for years. The Chinese government sees Falun Gong as a threat because it promotes individual meditation and its leader has developed a formidable following compared to that of the communist system.

“I remembered they performed blood tests on us Falun Gong practitioners, not just once, but regularly, and it was to prepare for a possible match,” Crystal Chen, a Falun Gong practitioner who has been arrested in China, told Voice of America.

“They performed three blood tests but gave me no results. After I was released from the camp, one of practitioners, who happened to be a doctor, told me they were doing a bone marrow test to see if my kidney was a match,” another former prisoner, Ma Chunmei, said.

Some doctors have also decried the practice. Uighur doctor Enver Tohti testified in 2014 to being forced to extract organs from recently executed prisoners with haste, before their bodies cooled. “‘Why are we operating?’ Tohti remembers asking his superior. ‘Come on. This man is dead.’” He was forced to remove the man’s liver and kidneys.

The Chinese government has adamantly denied the claims. “Such stories about forced organ harvesting in China are imaginary and baseless — they don’t have any factual foundation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said of the new report, CNN notes.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution this month calling for the State Department to implement visa restrictions on Chinese nationals suspected of participating in the practice, a move China sternly condemned.

Euthanasia and Organ Harvesting: A Ghoulish-But Not Surprising-Proposal

 Last November, Colorado became the sixth state to legalize physician-assisted suicide. It was and is a terrible idea.

Among the arguments my colleague John Stonestreet and others made was the fact that the so-called “safeguards” in these kinds of laws are illusions. Experience in Europe shows that once you concede the principle that some lives are not worth living, the definition of what kinds of lives are not worth living expands.

As one Belgian law professor put it, “What is presented at first as a right [to die] is going to become a kind of obligation.”

Proponents of physician-assisted suicide dismiss these arguments as “alarmist” and deny that any such thing could happen.

 And then, it happens.

Case in point: Last month, Julie Allard and Marie Chantal-Fortin, ethicists at the University of Montreal, argued that the organs of those who submit to physician-assisted suicide shouldn’t go to waste.

Writing in the Quebec Journal of Medical Ethics, Allard and Chantal-Fortin said that “MAID (medical aid in dying) has the potential to provide additional organs available for transplantation. Accepting to procure organ donation after MAID is a way to respect the autonomy of patients, for whom organ donation is an important value.”

The words “autonomy” and “important value” are window dressing for this ghoulish proposal. And I mean “ghoulish” in the original sense of monsters who live in graveyards and consume human flesh.

While in this case the consumption takes the form of organ transplantation, in both instances the most vulnerable members of our society are viewed as potential forms of sustenance for the rest of us.

Think of the Planned Parenthood videos: Human beings, made in the image of God, treated as the flesh-and-blood equivalent of a coal mine.

And in case you think that Allard and Chantal-Fortin are wacky outliers, think again. In May of last year, both Transplant Quebec, which coordinates the organ donor process in the province, and an ethics committee of the Quebec government took similar positions.

Allard and Fortin do acknowledge that “patients might feel that they are a burden and could only be useful if they were to give their organs,” and that “this would constitute a subtle form of coercion.” They also concede that “It will be difficult to disentangle patients’ motivations for requesting MAID.”

Still, they’re confident that what they call the “complete separation” of the decision to end one’s life and the decision to donate one’s organs should be a sufficient safeguard.

This, folks, is a delusion. As John mentioned on BreakPoint last November, the first thing that elderly Canadian patients were asked after receiving a cancer diagnosis was, “Do you wish to be euthanized?”

No pressure there!

Canadian ethicists may not see the potential for abuse, but the Australian journal Mercator.net did. For instance, “What if organ donation organizations promoted a standard advance directive which instructs your next-of-kin to arrange for organ donation euthanasia if you become seriously demented? There is no reason why this could not happen. In Belgium, demented people can be euthanized and organs are being accepted, even from elderly people. That would clean out the nursing homes and shorten the kidney waiting list.”

Put simply, “the potential for exploiting vulnerable people is immense.”

And the only way to safeguard against this is to not concede the principle that some lives are not worth living in the first place. Anything short of that turns people into strip mines.

Canada Reportedly Harvesting Organs of Euthanasia Patients

A recent push in Canada to encourage euthanasia patients to donate their organs appears to be working.

In Ontario, the first province to report data, 26 people who died by lethal injection decided to donate tissue or organs since the Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID) came into effect last June, according to the National Post. A total of 388 people have chosen to die by lethal injection in Ontario, over half of the 744 total Canadians who have been euthanized.

Proponents of linking organ harvesting to euthanasia point to the shortage of organ transplants readily available and the lower cost associated with euthanasia than with end-of-life care.

UK Govt to Make All Britons Organ Donors Unless They Opt Out


The UK government has taken one step further towards bringing into effect an ‘opt-in’ organ donation system which will presume a person is an organ donor in moves that one medical ethicist warns could mean increasing donations by “slight of hand”.

Conservative Government ministers are to go ahead with reformations to organ ‘donation’ laws which they said could increase the availability of organs for transplant by 700 per year, reports the BBC.

The legislation is expected to be brought before the House of Commons when MPs return from recess in Autumn, and if Parliament approves the organ donation law, it will come into effect in England by Spring 2020.

Currently, Wales already operates such a system, Scotland is looking to introduce a similar scheme, and Northern Ireland is also considering it.

The law will mean that unless a person has expressed a wish to not donate their organs, doctors will presume the dead person is a donor.

There will be exceptions — children under 18, those with diminished mental capabilities, and foreigners who have been in the country less than 12 months — and relatives can still override the ‘presumed consent’, if the ‘donor’ has relatives in the first place to object.

Those who do want to opt out will be able to do so by using a National Health Service (NHS) app to be launched at the end of the year.

    Britain’s NHS Lowers Standards, Doctors Who Kill Patients Will Keep Jobs and ‘Learn from Mistakes’ https://t.co/KwTx97Apb8

    — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) June 11, 2018

However, medical ethicist Dr Piers Benn raised several issues arising from the Government legally changing all Britons to presumed organ ‘donors’, saying that it may leave some people feeling “cheated” and “uncomfortable” with what has hitherto been treated as a “gift”.

Dr Benn said the current system respected that “you know what you’re doing and you’re doing it because you want to save someone’s life”, he told Sky News on Sunday.

“The problem with opt-outs is that — while it does save lives — people may not be aware that that is the default assumption. so people will be ‘donating’ their organs without knowing they are doing that.”

Asked by the news anchor whether it would give doctors licence to take your organs, the medical ethicist said: “Sometimes if there is no known wish a doctor can approach relatives and some relatives decide not to donate.

“But the issue really is how do we weigh up the number of lives saved with the need to respect fully the consent of the person who has just died to what happens to their organs.”

    ‘Euthanasia Practised by Nursing Staff’ at Opioid Scandal Hospital, Whistleblower Told Police https://t.co/SgTbyrzHZI

    — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) June 22, 2018

Recognising that the 700 additional organs would be available every year under the new system by virtue of being taken by the deceased who may not have expressed a wish to donate when alive, Dr Benn observed that “There is something lost [in this system].

“I don’t say this solves the issue completely as it removes that you know what you’re doing and you’re giving.

“After all, no one has an obligation to save strangers’ lives.”

Asked whether it would make people feel that the government is presuming ownership over there body, the medical ethicist reiterated that you can opt out — but that it was down to a person reading the “small print”.

“You can opt out but you have to be pretty savvy to do so. Of course, the reason why the government have shifted from the opt-in to the opt-out position is to increase donations — which is a good thing, but done in a way which is at risk of being done by slight of hand.”

Body of Woman Who Died in Mexico Returned to Family with Eyes and Heart Missing

41-year-old Amanda Gill's family suspects organ trafficking by Mexican doctors

Amanda Gill's body was missing her brain, heart and eyes - family suspects organ trafficking

The body of a British woman, who died in Mexico, was flown back to her home country with her brain, heart, eyes, and other organs missing.

41-year-old Amanda Gill's body was returned to her family in the UK after being harvested in the Mexican hospital after she passed away.

Elaine Hines said her daughter Amanda fell victim to illegal organ traffickers, and suspects doctors where she was treated may have been involved, reported the Daily Mail.

“They stole everything inside her,” she said.

“If this has happened to Amanda how many other people has it ­happened to and will again?” Hines said.

“Where are my sister’s beautiful blue eyes?” Amanda’s sister, Katie Miller-Gill, asked.

“Why were they taken from her? Where is her brain, her heart?”

According to the Epoch Times, Amanda’s sister said the family may have considered donating her organs, and she now thinks that Mexican criminals stole the organs under the belief that her family wouldn’t follow up on the case.

No officials contacted the family about the woman’s organs.

Hines died at Hospital de Cos following diabetes complications while she was traveling in the country.

Hospital officials said they don’t know what happened to the organs, according to the publication.

Hospital authorities told The Mirror that her body was passed to police in a sealed bag.

No officials have taken responsibility for the woman’s missing organs, Gill’s family told the Mirror.

“Did they do it to her because she was foreign? Did they steal her ­organs for the illegal trade?” asked a family member in the report.

“We just don’t know. We haven’t got the ­answers we wanted.”

Her family also doesn’t understand why she died.

“The hospital said she wouldn’t take fluids but the first thing you do is put them on a drip and that brings them round. It isn’t something that would have killed her,” said a family member.

Mexican ­officials said her cause of death was “visceral congestion,” which according to the report, perplexed pathologists in the UK.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office told the outlet, “Our staff are supporting the family of a British woman following her death in Mexico, and we have conveyed their concerns about the handling of her remains to the Mexican mortuary services.”

Hines died at Hospital de Cos following diabetes complications while she was traveling in the country.

Organ Harvesting

Criminal gangs in Mexico have been long accused of organ harvesting.

In 2014, the Guardian reported that an alleged drug trafficker from the Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar) cartel was arrested for kidnapping children to kill and harvest their organs.

Jose Manuel Mireles said that vigilantes in Michoacan State stopped a truck driving in the area before discovering the children in a refrigerated container.

“The children were still alive and wrapped in blankets,” Mireles was quoted by the Guardian as saying.

“They were all from the same school in Mexico City and their parents had let them go because they were told they were going on a trip to the beach.”

Mexican cartels, especially the Caballeros Templarios, are known to engage in illegal activity other than drug trafficking, including kidnapping, organ pilfering, and even exporting iron ore to China.

China, meanwhile, has been accused of carrying out state-sanctioned large-scale organ harvesting for the past decade or more.

Various religious groups who are known to not drink or smoke, particularly practitioners of the persecuted Falun Gong spiritual discipline, are targeted for their organs by Chinese communist officials.

Falun Gong, also known as a Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice based on meditative exercises and moral teachings centered on three principles: truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, according to its website.

But in China, it’s been subjected to brutal persecution since July 1999, with widespread reports of torture, brainwashing, forced labor, extrajudicial killings, and organ harvesting in labor camps throughout the country.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) highlighted the Chinese Communist Party’s campaign of organ harvesting this week.

“The Chinese government and Communist Party’s ongoing efforts to eradicate Falun Gong practice is a black mark on recent Chinese history.

"The CCP’s need to control even the consciences of the Chinese people has led to horrific human rights abuses, torture, arbitrary detention, and organ harvesting,” said Smith on Dec. 3.

Investigations by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China, an ethics group consisting of medical doctors, lawyers, academics, and other researchers, said that a significant number of Falun Gong practitioners have been killed for their organs for profit.

Organ harvesting from euthanized humans begins in CANADA, with full support from medical authorities

 It would appear as though Communist China’s illicit organ harvesting racket has finally creeped its way into North America, as new reports indicate that euthanasia patients in Canada are now having their vital organs collected while they’re still alive, and “voluntarily” donated for profit after their deaths.

Unborn Babies are Being Extracted From Their Mother’s Wombs Alive to Have Their Livers Harvested

Dr. Jörg C. Gerlach, an “experimental surgeon” at the taxpayer-funded University of Pittsburgh, has developed and published on a grotesque technique to harvest fresh, pristine livers from intact babies delivered alive in late-term abortions “at a gestational age of 18 to 22 weeks.” Gerlach’s liver-harvesting “protocol” is used for experimental stem cell transplants according to “current Good Manufacturing Practice,” or cGMP, guidelines developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, another arm of HHS. They even washed the babies: “Upon its arrival at the cGMP facility, each fetus was weighed, rinsed with an iodine solution, and placed onto a sterile surgical tray.” Then they cut their livers out.

Hair weaves from Chinese prison camps seized in New York

Stephen Rex Brown
4-5 minutes

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in New York announced Wednesday they had seized a shipment of weaves and other beauty accessories suspected to be made out of human hair taken from people locked inside a Chinese internment camp.

The shipment of almost 13 tons of hair products worth more than $800,000 bore signs of “potential human right abuses of forced child labor and imprisonment,” the agency said in a release. The violations included “use of prison labor” and “additional situations of forced labor, including, but not limited to, excessive overtime, withholding of wages, and the restriction of movement,” according to Customs officials.

“The production of these goods constitutes a very serious human rights violation, and the detention order is intended to send a clear and direct message to all entities seeking to do business with the United States that illicit and inhumane practices will not be tolerated in U.S. supply chains,” said Brenda Smith, Executive Assistant Commissioner of the CBP Office of Trade.

Rushan Abbas, a Uighur American activist whose sister went missing in China almost two years ago and is believed to be locked in a detention camp, said women who use hair weaves should think about who might be making them.

“This is so heartbreaking for us,” she said. “I want people to think about the slavery people are experiencing today. My sister is sitting somewhere being forced to make what, hairpieces?”

News of the horrific shipment emerged one month after former National Security Advisor John Bolton revealed in a memoir that President Trump told China President Xi Jinping last year that Uighur concentration camps were “exactly the right thing to do.”

Amid a furor over that account, Trump signed the bipartisan Uighur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020, condemning “gross human rights violations of specified ethnic Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang region in China.”

The massive shipment was made by Lop County Meixin Hair Product Co. Ltd. Customs made a similar seizure from a different Chinese company in May, though that was of synthetic hair.

Both of the exporters are in China’s far west Xinjiang region, where over the past four years the government has detained an estimated 1 million or more ethnic Turkic minorities.

The ethnic minorities are held in internment camps and prisons where they are subjected to ideological discipline, forced to denounce their religion and language and physically abused. China has long suspected the Uighurs, who are mostly Muslim, of harboring separatist tendencies because of their distinct culture, language and religion.

The items are suspected of being made with forced or prison labor, a violation of U.S. Law.

The Associated Press tried to visit Hetian Haolin Hair Accessories Co. more than a year ago during an investigation into forced labor inside the camps. But police called the cab driver taking AP journalists to the area, ordering the driver to turn back and warning that the cab’s coordinates were being tracked.

From the road, it was clear the factory — topped with “Haolin Hair Accessories” in big red letters — was ringed with barbed wire fencing and surveillance cameras, and the entrance was blocked by helmeted police. Across the street, what appeared to be an educational facility was topped with political slogans declaring “the country has power” and urging people to obey the Communist Party. It was unclear whether the factory was part of a detention center, but former detainees in other parts of Xinjiang have described being shuttled to work in fenced, guarded compounds during the day and taken back to internment camps at night.

The Chinese Ministry of Affairs has said there is no forced labor, nor detention of ethnic minorities.
