文章说，一份新的称为“血腥攫取器官”的报告记录了中国的“任何部位都可以摘取”的移植工业，在那里，任何人都可以用三万美元获得一个眼角膜，而且人们被囚禁着直到医院收到现金时，医生用针把他们处死。
乔高与加拿大法轮功学员李讯和周露西在一个集会中呼吁关注对信仰团体民众的人权侵犯问题来自国际人权律师大卫•麦塔斯及前加拿大亚太司司长大卫•乔高的这份报告刚刚发表，更新了关于这个亿元移植工业的报告。
乔高说，“我们已经和许多接受器官的人，和逃出[中国]的人谈过。我们和一位女士交谈，她曾被殴打得很严重，听到医生说她会死了，那她的器官就不好用了。我们看了提供器官的网站。我们认为对任何一个公正或理智的人而言，我们现在已经拥有了压倒性的证据。”
他说，“每一证据都指向同一个方向，都是证明（中共）有罪”。
网站以美元为单位公布了价钱，十五万美元一个肾或胰脏，十五万到十七万美元一个肺脏，以及十三万美元一个心脏，而且这些网站提示等待肝脏的最长时间是两个星期，而在大不列颠哥伦比亚省等待时间为五十二个星期。
报告说，“广告中异常短暂的等待匹配器官的时间表明存在一个庞大的活体库”。
最令人震惊的证据来自几个逃离这个工业的人。一位妇女作证，她的丈夫，一位外科医生，曾摘取二千人的眼角膜，摘取时那些人还活着。接着他们被其它外科医生摘去另外的器官，然后身体被火化。
报告已做出结论，活摘器官暴行的程度超过希特勒试图消灭犹太人和其他人群的所为。
乔高说，“这到了人类能够想象的极限，一些人会说超过了想象的极限。我们避免直接比较，因为纳粹也没有这样干过”。
乔高把这称为“食肉资本主义”，除了金钱，无所顾忌。报告列出新证据表明医院告诉潜在接受器官移植者，他们有活器官等着，而且过去几年里已经做了数万个器官移植。
中国的人权记录是可怖的，报告说，其共产政权造成的死亡人数超过了希特勒和斯大林所导致的死亡总和。中共政权经常侵犯基督徒、民主活动家，人权提倡者及其他人的权利，包括使用拘留，酷刑和处决等手段。
但这个正在形成的工业的目标目前主要是法轮功团体。
但在一个只有官方决定什么可以被允许的社会氛围中，这个国家的移植工业已经在爆炸式的发展，因为经营和销售“国家的敌人”的器官是没有障碍的。
麦塔斯在最近的新闻发布会上告诉记者，“一旦顾客进入中国，有人就被杀害以摘取器官，不论这人是死刑犯或是一位法轮功学员，而且他们在狱中有庞大的人群等待被杀取器官”。
一九九九年前肝移植只有二十二例，仅去年就成倍升到五百例［编注：目前中国每年的肝移植案例上千。一九九九年以前的总数量不到一千例］。而且当中共承认“摘取”因经济罪而被处死的犯人器官时，这样的处决次数许多年来一直保持一千六到一千七。然而，当报告公布时，已经表明在中国一九九九年前约有三万个移植手术，而到二零零五年底，数字飞速升至九万个。
二零零零年到二零零五年间的六万个器官移植手术，每一个都需要一个供体，而且从历史上看，在中国很少有人在活着的时候捐献器官。
“近年来在这些方面没有迹象表明有显著的增加。报告说，在一九九四到一九九九年间所做的一万八千五百例移植应该和二零零零年到二零零五年做的数量相同。这意味着二零零零到二零零五这六年里的四万一千五百个移植的器官来历不明”。
证据的一部份来自一位向作者作证的自愿者，该自愿者打电话给中国的八十所医院，询问器官移植。有十家承认使用“活着的”法轮功学员作为器官来源。
一个医院官员被问及用于移植的器官。“……来自健康的法轮功学员吗？”
“是的。我们会选择健康的，因为我们保证我们的手术质量”，那个官员说。
“是说你自己挑选器官？”
“是的……”。
“器官提供者一般有多大岁数？”
“一般是三十岁”。
“如果被选定的人不让抽血怎么办？”
“他肯定会让我们抽血”。
“怎样办到的呢？”
“他们肯定会有办法。你担心什么呢？你不应顾虑这样的事。他们有他们的程序”。
“那个人知道他的器官会被摘取吗？”
“不知道”。
乔高告诉世界网络日报，该报告揭示可能数以万计的法轮功学员被关在拘留所，在他们活着时，他们为出口组装产品。但他们定期被验血以及接受各种体检。
接着电脑匹配好了器官。乔高说：“他或她的日子到了，有人在上海医院等着，那天你会死去。病人带着一个新的肾飞回了美国”。
病人们被例行公事的告知他们从自愿捐献的被处死的犯人身上得到器官。对“被处死的犯人”的描述，技术上是真的，他说，但实际是“犯人们”从没有犯罪或被判有罪。
这份报告建议世界其它地方施以援手，禁止病人去中国做移植手术，在那里器官供体或其家庭都没有同意捐出器官，停止投资在外国做商业移植手术的病人的术后服务，停止培训回中国并涉入移植工业的医生，并禁止卖给中国抗排斥药物及其它移植所必需的物品。
他们在报告中说，“我们相信一直有大规模攫取非自愿法轮功学员的器官，而且今天仍在继续”。

Exposed! China's organ-on-demand transplants
'Bloody Harvest' says prisoners kept healthy until paying customer arrives

 David Kilgour with Xun Li and Lucy Zhou during a rally to call attention to Chinese human rights abuses against religious sect practitioners |
A new report called "Bloody Harvest" documents China's "anything goes" transplant industry where a cornea is available to anyone with $30,000 and people are kept as prisoners until their organs are needed, when they are executed by a doctor's needle just as soon as the cash hits the hospital accounting office.
The report from David Matas, an international human rights lawyer, and David Kilgour, the former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, was just released and updates previous documents alleging the existence of the billion dollar industry.
The new report, taken cumulatively, provides the proof, Kilgour told WND.
"We've talked to a lot of people who received organs, people who managed to get out [of China] by the skin of their teeth. We talked to a lady beaten up so badly she heard a doctor say she was going to die and her organs would be no good. We've looked at the web sites offering organs. We think we now have overwhelming evidence for any fair-minded or reasonable person," he said.
"Every single item points in the same direction, and nothing points in the direction of innocence," he said.
Web sites have posted prices, in U.S. dollars, of $150,000 for a kidney or pancreas, $150,000-$170,000 for a lung, and $130,000-$160,000 for a heart, and those same sites suggest the maximum wait for a liver available for transplant would be two weeks, although the same wait period in British Columbia was 52 months.
"The astonishingly short waiting times advertised for perfectly-matched organs would suggest the existence of a large bank of live prospective 'donors,'" the report said.
Some of the most damning evidence came from several individuals who have fled the industry. One woman testified her husband, a surgeon, had removed the corneas from an estimated 2,000 people who, at that point, still were alive. But they then were operated on by other surgeons to remove other organs, and the bodies then cremated.
The money trail was tracked from the patients to the hospital, but it remained unclear whether the hospital, the government, or the surgeons were benefiting the most, the report said. But it concluded that the magnitude of the atrocities goes beyond even what Hitler pursued in his attempt to eradicate Jews and other groups of people, he said.
"This is just about at the limit of the human imagination, some people would say it's beyond. We avoid direct comparisons, because it really is unique. Even the Nazis didn't try to do this," he said.
He characterizes it as "carnivore capitalism" where nothing matters but the money. The report lists new evidence showing that hospitals are telling potential transplant recipients that they have live organs awaiting delivery and there have been tens of thousands of transplant surgeries performed in the past few years – with no other available source of organs.
China's human rights record is atrocious, the report said, with more deaths attributable to its Communist government than to Stalin and Hitler combined. The nation routinely violates the rights of Christians, democracy advocates, human rights advocates and others, including using detention, torture and execution.
But the targets for the burgeoning industry at this point are mostly members of a religious sect called Falun Gong. That's a belief system that was assembled in the early 1990s by Li Hongzhi and incorporates ideas from Buddhism and Taoism. It's generally seen as a peaceful movement, but China government officials have labeled it a dangerous cult and banned it.
But in a social atmosphere that tolerates only what officials decide they want to allow, there is no accountability for hospitals or physicians who are constantly short of funding, and there is zero tolerance for dissent, the nation's transplant industry has exploded because there has been no barrier to marketing – and selling – the organs of "enemies of the state."
"Once a customer arrives into China, somebody's killed for the organ, whether it's a prisoner sentenced to death or a Falun Gong practitioner, and they just have this huge supply of people in jail waiting to be killed for organ donations," Matas told reporters at a recent news conference.
Liver transplants, counted at only 22 before 1999, multiplied to 500 just last year. And while China has admitted "harvesting" the organs of inmates executed for capital crimes, the number of those executions has remained about the same – in the 1,600 to 1,700 range – for a number of years. However, while reports that are available to the public show there were about 30,000 transplant surgeries in China prior to 1999, that total rocketed to 90,000 by the end of 2005.
Those 60,000 organ transplant surgeries during the years 2000-2005 each needed a donor organ, and historically in China the numbers show only a fraction of all transplants are provided by living donors, such as in kidney cases, or a body made available voluntarily following a traffic accident or other circumstances.
"There is no indication of a significant increase in ? these categories in recent years. Presumably, the identified sources of organ transplants which produced 18,500 organ transplants in the six-year period 1994 to 1999 produced the same number of organs for transplants in the next six-year period 2000 to 2005," the report said.
"That means that the source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained," the report said.
Some of the explanation comes from a volunteer who testified to the authors about calling 80 hospitals in China, asking about transplants. Ten locations admitted using "live" Falun Gong practitioners as organ suppliers.
One hospital official was asked about the organs for transplant. "?And it was from healthy Falun Gong practitioners??"
"Correct. We would choose the good ones because we assure the quality in our operation," the hospital official said."That means you choose the organs yourself?"
"Correct?"
"Usually, how old is the organ supplier?"
"Usually in their thirties."
"What if the chosen one doesn't want to have blood drawn?"
"He will for sure let us do it."
"How?"
"They will for sure find a way. What do you worry about? These kinds of things should not be of any concern to you. They have their procedures."
"Does the person know that his organ will be removed?"
"No."
The researchers, both from Canada, noted that there is no doubt Canadians are taking part in "organ tourism," which is traveling to China for a transplant. Confirmations have come in from hospitals in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary that such trips were taking place.
Patients from the United States and other affluent countries, also, undoubtedly, are taking part in the industry, the report noted.
Kilgour told WND that the report reveals that Falun Gong practitioners, probably tens of thousands, are held in detention camps while, during their lives, they assemble products for export. But they are blood-typed and given various tests regularly.
Then there's a computer matchup of tissue. "His or her day comes up, somebody's waiting in a hospital in Shanghai, and you can die that day. The patient flies back to America with a new kidney," he said.
Patients routinely are told they are getting organs from executed prisoners who volunteered for the donation. The description of "executed prisoner," technically, is true, he said, but the caveat is that the "prisoners" never commited – or were convicted – of any crime.
The report suggests the rest of the world could help by preventing patients from traveling to China for a transplant where neither the donor nor the family have consented, stopping funding for after-care for patients who have commercial transplants abroad, stop training of doctors who will return to China and join the transplant industry and ban shipping anti-rejection drugs and other necessities for transplants to China.
"We believe that there has been and continues today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners," they said in the report.
Kilgour earlier told the Epoch Times that the 2008 Olympic Games, awarded by the International Olympic Committee to China, also should be used as a lever to stop the activity
Chinese officials have admitted "harvesting" organs from "executed prisoners," but that admission did not come until 2005, and the report authors say it might have been made to divert attention away from the industry of killing innocent sect members for their organs.
The authors said the report on the study, which was done at the request of the Coalition to Investigation the Persecution of the Falun Gong in China, a non-governmental organization in Washington and Ottawa, also is available at www.organharvestinvestigation.net.
