Bump to Post #4.

I can remember my brother-in-law calling Rush Limbaugh’s talk show several years ago, telling how they keep the frightened prisoners alive until the last minute, so the body parts will be fresh.

This not only isn’t surprising, it is probably happening here.

That is only the half of it. Body parts are moved that way too. The prisoner is sent to the country where the sale is needed. Then harvested.

Can you tell me a couple of countries that accept a prisoner from China for the purpose of body parts?

And how HORRIBLE - I can’t think of a word strong enough to describe this cruel evil.

German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that some bodies used by “Body Worlds,” which is not affiliated with the Seattle exhibition, used executed Chinese prisoners. German investigators, however, found no evidence to support those allegations.

All cadavers used for “Bodies” were legally obtained, and those of Chinese people — many of whom died from disease or natural causes — who were either unknown or had no families to claim their bodies when they died, Glover said.

...China has acknowledged that most of the human organs used in transplants here are taken from executed prisoners and that many of the recipients are foreigners who pay hefty sums to avoid a long wait.....China doesn’t disclose the number of annual executions, Amnesty International says at least 1,770 people were put to death in 2005, based on a review of Chinese media reports. Some activists say the annual figure could be as high as 10,000....

HORRIBLE. I’m really surprised about Japan. I didn’t think they were that immoral.

On a positive note, kudos to Taiwan:

“Taiwan people urged not to go to China for transplants

TAIPEI, CNA

SNIP

Explaining Taiwan’s existing laws regulating citizens receiving organ transplants in China, Chou warned that it is possible for them to be charged with murder, or complicity in murder, if it is discovered that their organ transplants had been the cause of an individual’s execution or murder. Echoing Chou’s remarks, Chen urged Taiwanese patients to be very cautious in receiving organ transplants in China, otherwise they might be “killing another person in order to save their own lives without even knowing it.”’
