You may think you know about the illegal world of organ harvesting, but there’s an even a darker side to this practice than merely procuring an organ on the black market. In China, two groups in particular, Uyghur Muslims as well as Falun Gong practitioners, are often targeted to be killed for their organs, especially young men and women in their late 20s. These two groups, in particular, are first shamed publicly for believing in God or in even having a spiritual life, for atheism is “god” in Communist China. The two group are then sent to prison camps, where they are blood-typed and categorized for various organ extractions. When a request comes in from a dying patient who is willing to pay top-dollar for an immediate organ match, even from patients in the United States, Chinese military doctors and staff are able to get the requested organ in as little as two weeks!
Why? Because they have already “found” the donors in a prison camp. When the donor is put on a military hospital operating table, he/she is anesthetized while the extraction is going on because getting the freshest organ possible is always preferred. Extracting an organ from a dead donor, even one who has just passed, can result in the organ being rejected by the recipient’s body, due to it beginning to deteriorate. Once the organ is removed, the donor is killed with an overdose, the organ is placed in the recipient’s body, and the corpse of the deceased is cremated. The money from the procedure is sent to help fund the Chinese military.
