IS CHINA STILL STEALING ORGANS?

Friday, November 17, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

New evidence has been presented, showing that some surgeons and officials in China are still engaged in killing human beings, to provide organ transplants for wealthy customers. An article in the Epoch Times declares that "A Chinese military surgeon had eight Chinese citizens killed to supply a single foreign patient with a new kidney," citing as its source former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific David Kilgour, who addressed the Asian Human Rights Week forum in Warsaw this week.

"The incredible thing is that the doctor would ... go down the names on sheets of paper looking for blood types and tissue types and so on, and he [the patient] would point at names on the list. The doctor would then go away and come back with organs," Kilgour reportedly added. He noted his research in the case of a particular man in Shanghai, in which eight separate kidneys were tried before a proper match was found, and said the presiding surgeon had told the man "explicitly" that each of these organs came from executed Chinese prisoners, with at least some of the organs harvested secretly, against the donors' will.

"I am certain that at least some of these were Falun Gong practitioners who never went near a court, who were never convicted of anything," Kilgour reportedly added. - ST
