When you first hear of China's gruesome practice of executing prisoners for the purpose of harvesting their organs and selling them to the highest bidder, the reaction should be one of shock and disbelief. How can human beings do that to other human beings? How can there be such disdain for human life? How can avarice and greed reach such extremes? How can this be happening in the 21st century?
Unfortunately, the evidence gathered throughout the last two decades clearly shows that China's Communist regime is not just looking at traditional sectors of the economy to generate income for its military expansionist policies. It has found a lucrative industry in the field of organ transplantation which not only yields great financial rewards, but provides the regime with a powerful tool to coerce and intimidate the population into submission. Nothing like the threat of having your organs harvested to keep you silent eh?
In a 1984 document, the Chinese regime provided detailed instructions on the conditions and the procedures for harvesting organs from executed prisoners, including the coordination between health personnel and prison and public security officials and the need for confidentiality in the entire process.
This document states that those who are sentenced to death are to be executed immediately by means of shooting. If they need your eyes they shoot you in the heart, if they need other organs they bust a cap in your brain.
This calculated method of execution helps ensure that there is no contamination of the organs. After all no one wants dirty eyeballs!
Although the official regulations issued in 1984 state that death must be confirmed before the extraction of organs, there are credible reports that the executions are sometimes deliberately botched to postpone brain stem death and help the retrieval of organs while the blood is still circulating.
Other reports refer to organ removal as the means of execution in and of itself. These methods are increasingly being used because living donor organs are in greater demand and, therefore, generate a higher price. Now this practice is real nasty and could only happen in places like China or North Korea, and people have the nerve to say America is evil.!!!
The official regulations also refer to consent from prisoners and/or family members and to the use of only bodies which have not been claimed by the family members. In the same text, however, it underscores that the use of the dead bodies or organs from condemned criminals must be kept strictly confidential, and once the bodies are used the crematory shall assist in the timely cremation. In other words no one knows if permission is ever given or not, we have to take a corrupt and evil governments word for it.
How can this happen? where is the outcry from from the Liberal left here in America demanding the Chinese stop? I guess they are to busy crying about how poor Saddam was hung to worry about human sacrifice. Why is "the most powerful woman in America" and the biggest liberal ever, Nancy Pelosi not forming a commitee to take away favored nation status from China if they don't stop this practice?
