The Vancouver Province: Doctors Slam China's 'Live' Organ Program
(Clearwisdom) Foreign patients who travel to China for transplants are
likely receiving organs culled from political prisoners who are alive when their
corneas, kidneys and livers are harvested, then left to die, an international
group of doctors is warning. "China has long used organs from executed criminals, but since 2000 has
turned to living donors and outlawed Falun Gong members to supply a growing
trade in medical transplants," Doctors Against Organ Harvesting said
yesterday in Toronto. The newly formed organization is seeking to warn patients that someone else's
life is likely being sacrificed in the process of obtaining organs. "Each person who travels to China for an organ causes the death of
another human," said Dr. Torsten Trey, a Washington, D.C.-based physician
and founding member of Doctors Against Organ Harvesting. The group is sounding the alarm in the medical community about evidence of
unethical transplants in China and want doctors to impress the information upon
their patients. Friday, May 18, 2007
