Chinese Army ‘Harvesting Body Parts’

CHINA’S military is harvesting organs from unwilling live prison inmates, mostly Falungong practitioners, for transplants on a large scale – including to foreign recipients- according to a study.
The report’s authors – Canada’s former secretary of state for the Asia Pacific region David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas – implicated dozens of hospitals and jails throughout China in July, after a two-month investigation.
Chinese officials denied those allegations.
Mr Matas and Mr Kilgour’s second report, released today, includes interviews with organ recipients in 30 countries and Canadian hospital staff who cared for more than 100 patients who had undergone suspicious transplant surgeries in China.
“The involvement of the People’s Liberation Army in these transplants is widespread,” Mr Kilgour said at a press conference.
Like many civilian hospitals in rural China, military hospitals turned to selling organs to make up for government funding cuts in the 1980s, the report said.
But military personnel could operate with much more secrecy, it said.
“Recipients often tell us that even when they receive transplants at civilian hospitals, those conducting the operation are military personnel,” the report said.
sounds more like someone is attempting to demonise the Chinese.
You sound like a stupid troll.
My guess is this is why Cheney always comes back looking so hale and healthy after his mysterious absenses from the public eye. For a guy with four heart attacks under his belt he looks like he could hold his own in a bare fisted boxing match. Perhaps that’s just inherent meanness though?
It is the permanent rictus that Cheney (aka the ‘dark lord of the sith’) exhibits that fascinates me, medically. Perhaps, being the vile undead thing he clearly is, he suffers from some sort of localized rigor mortis.
