How The West Enabled China Organ Harvesting Expansion

The “collapse of Western values,” a “massive case of denial” in the free world, and “religious bigotry” towards the Falun Gong spiritual movement have allowed China to potentially expand its industrial-scale harvesting of live organs to Uighur Muslims imprisoned in concentration camps, Ethan Gutmann, author of several seminal reports on the topic, told Breitbart News.
Gutmann’s research and writing, in conjunction with authors David Kilgour and David Matas, exposed a million-dollar Chinese industry centered around the killing of political prisoners – mostly Falun Gong members, but some Christians, Uighur Muslims, and others considered enemies of the state – and extracting of livers, kidneys, hearts, and other vital organs to sell to buyers in need.
In the update to their research in 2016, Gutmann, Kilgour, and Matas revealed that China was conducting between 50,000 and 90,000 more transplant surgeries than the official government estimates of organ donors, even including death row inmates, could account for. Filling the gap between documented organ donations and actual transplants completed were the bodies of prisoners of conscience, the report concluded. Both Falun Gong survivors and doctors who have testified to engaging in live organ harvesting have corroborated the report.
Since the publication of that revelation, the U.S. Congress, the U.K. Parliament, and several international human rights organizations have moved to condemn China. Yet the World Health Organization, an arm of the United Nations, has not acted, nor has the global medical community attempted to isolate and punish doctors associated with the Chinese Communist Party for this behavior.
China has never explained the discrepancy between the number of organs documented as available and the number of transplants conducted. Its state propaganda arms tout the world’s acclaim for its “fair” organ donation system.
“China is establishing a new national system for organ donation and transplantation, based on Chinese cultural and societal norms, that aims to be ethical and sustainable,” a 2012 WHO Bulletin article proclaimed.
This week, a tribunal organized by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China (ETAC), which Gutmann co-founded, published a report concluding that the Chinese communist regime had, “beyond reasonable doubt,” committed crimes against humanity by extracting organs from political prisoners while they were still alive and selling them to willing buyers. It also presented significant evidence that, adding to the crimes against Falun Gong practitioners, Chinese authorities have taken steps compatible with non-consensually extracting live organs from Uighur Muslims in western Xinjiang province, where some estimates suggest the government has imprisoned as many as 3 million Uighurs, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz Muslims in concentration camps. Gutmann testified before the tribunal.
