Forced Organ Harvesting from Living People – Past, Present, Future

Sixteen years ago, the international community was made aware of forced organ harvesting from living persons for their organs in China. It is an unprecedented abuse of the medical profession, a violation of ethical standards in medicine, and a criminal practice.

As inconvenient it might be to confront and take actions to address this issue, in order to uphold the reputation of the medical profession, all medical professionals must now act against this abuse. Silence and inaction, hoping that the issue will resolve on its own is analogous to knowing there is a cancer and hoping it will dissolve on its own.

The most professional approach for the medical community is to diagnose the issue and then treat it. If a small group of medical professionals commit crimes against humanity, medical doctors everywhere need to inform themselves and act.

Our webinar will present a roundtable discussion on this topic, provide a review of the evidence that has been gathered in the past, update the audience about the latest research and discuss the next steps of action to stop forced organ harvesting. Our purpose is to educate medical professionals and equip them with data and knowledge so as to lay a path forward towards ending the abuse of forced organ harvesting.

Εξαναγκαστικές αφαιρέσεις οργάνων, πανδημία, λιμάνι Πειραιά. Η Ελλάδα θα πρέπει να απομακρυνθεί από την Κίνα.

Σε μια εποχή βαθειάς ηθικής κρίσης, ένα μήνυμα ελπίδας για επιστροφή στις ηθικές αξίες αποστέλεται από την Ελλάδα, γενέτειρα της Δυτικής Ιατρικής, σε όλο τον κόσμο. Ο όρκος του Ιπποκράτη, «ποτέ να μην βλάψω ή να αδικήσω», ως κατευθυντήρια αρχή του ιατρικού επαγγέλματος, έχει θέσει το θεμέλιο για την ηθική στην Δυτική Ιατρική.

Η πρακτική της μεταμόσχευσης οργάνων αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα ιατρικά επιτεύγματα του 20ου αιώνα που έχει προσφέρει νέα ζωή σε πολλούς συνανθρώπους μας. Την ίδια στιγμή ωστόσο έχει δημιουργήσει την ανάγκη για αυστηρότερη εφαρμογή ηθικών κανόνων, ώστε να εξασφαλίζεται η συναίνεση των δωρητών και η τήρηση συγκεκριμένων προϋποθέσεων για να μπορέσει να πραγματοποιηθεί. Αυτό, δυστυχώς, είναι κάτι άγνωστο στην Κίνα.

Ο Παγκόσμιος Ιατρικός Οργανισμός DAFOH είναι ένας μη κερδοσκοπικός οργανισμός που επί 15 χρόνια ερευνά το ανήθικο σύστημα μεταμοσχεύσεων της Κίνας, του οποίου θύματα είναι κυρίως κρατούμενοι συνείδησης. Τον Ιούνιο του 2019, Ανεξάρτητο Δικαστήριο στο Λονδίνο (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vqe55edUKk) εξέτασε σωρεία μαρτυριών και στοιχείων εκδίδοντας την απόφαση ότι πρόκειται για «Έγκλημα κατά της ανθρωπότητας», χαρακτηρίζοντας το Kινεζικό κράτος «εγκληματικό».

Θα αναλύσουμε τη σχέση μεταξύ της εξαναγκαστικής αφαίρεσης οργάνων, της επιδημίας SARS (2003) και της πανδημίας Covid-19 (2020), που έχουν κοινό παρονομαστή την παρόμοια στρατηγική προπαγάνδας και εξαπάτησης από την πλευρά της Κίνας, η οποία μεθοδευμένα επέφερε και οικονομικές επιπτώσεις.

Η ηθική και η διαφάνεια σε κάθε συνεργασία και σε κάθε τομέα, όπως στην υγεία, στο εμπόριο, αλλά και στον πολιτισμό, είναι η απαραίτητη βάση για την επιτυχημένη πορεία τους και την μακρόπνοη προοπτική τους. Είναι το θεμέλιο για μελλοντική ειρήνη και ευημερία.

Ποιο θα ήταν το μέλλον της Ελλάδας εάν απομακρυνόταν από ένα καθεστώς που διαπράττει εγκλήματα κατά της ανθρωπότητας;

Die Österreichische Bevölkerung unterstützt traditionell Menschenwürde und ethische Werte. Vor einem Jahr hat Österreich sein grundlegendes Bedürfnis nach Stabilität und Sicherheit eingebüßt, als der Wuhan-Virus von China nach Europa gebracht wurde. Obwohl die chinesische Regierung über die Gefahren des Virus seit Januar 2020 Bescheid wusste, hat sie nicht nur keine Anstrengungen unternommen um Österreich zu warnen, sondern darüber hinaus noch die wahre Gefahr vertuscht. Obwohl der inländische Flugverkehr zum Stillstand gebracht wurde, hat Peking darauf bestanden, dass der internationale Flugverkehr fortgesetzt wurde.

Die Folgen dieser Verantwortungslosigkeit werden uns Österreichern täglich vor Augen geführt: gesundheitlich, gesellschaftlich und wirtschaftlich.

Jedoch ist die gesundheitliche Gefährdung und die zugrundeliegende Verletzung von ethischem Verantwortungsgefühl keine Seltenheit in China. Seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten hat China Organe von politischen Gefangenen entnommen, um das Transplantationsgeschäft in China zu fördern. Da es in China so gut wie keine freiwilligen Organspender gab, ist ein staatlich sanktioniertes Organraub-Programm eingeführt worden: In den letzten 20 Jahren wurden Hunderttausende von Falun-Gong-Praktizierenden wegen ihrer Organe getötet. Da die Praktizierenden wegen ihres Glaubens an Wahrhaftigkeit, Barmherzigkeit und Nachsicht seit 1999 brutal verfolgt und gefoltert werden, war es für die kommunistische Regierung in Peking möglich, ihnen auch die Organe zu rauben. Dies wurde im Jahr 2019 auch durch das China Tribunal (chinatribunal.com/) in London unter dem Vorsitz von Sir Geoffrey Nice bestätigt.

Sowohl der Organraub als auch die Pandemie sind durch Verheimlichung, Täuschung und Mangel an Transparenz gekennzeichnet. Schweigen und Ignoranz sind keine Option um Österreichs Sicherheit zu gewährleisten: Die Pandemie macht keinen Halt an der Landesgrenze. Würde uns China warnen, wenn ein neuer Virus auftauchen würde? Könnten wir tatenlos zuschauen, wenn ein Österreicher für eine Transplantation nach China reisen würde und dadurch das Todesurteil für einen Falun-Gong Praktizierenden auslösen würde? Kann Österreich Geschäfte mit China machen, wenn es keine Übereinstimmung der ethischen Werte gibt?

Ohne ethische Grundlage wird Österreich am Ende als Verlierer aus der Zusammenarbeit mit China aussteigen. Es ist essentiell für Österreichs Zukunft, dass die Beziehungen mit der kommunistischen Regierung in China neu bewertet werden. Solange die grundlegenden Menschenrechte und ethischen Werte verletzt werden, ist es empfehlenswert, dass sich Österreich und Europa von China distanzieren, bis man einen gemeinsamen Nenner an ethischen und universellen Werten gefunden hat.

In commemoration of the International Human Rights Day and the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, DAFOH hosted a video conference on December 10, 2020:

“The Pandemic and Forced Organ Harvesting – Europe’s Opportunity to End its Illusions about China”
From its birthplace in ancient Greece to the modern day, ethics have influenced conduct and behavior in European societies. The Hippocratic Oath is the guiding principle for the medical profession, and businesses integrate corporate ethics. Consensus on ethical values has shaped the basic rights of the people and laid the foundation for peace and prosperity throughout the European continent.

In 2020, Europe plunged into economic and social crisis after the Chinese leadership allowed the Wuhan virus to spread outside China. While the world was caught unprepared for such a threat, the communist regime in Beijing had already begun to stockpile billions of face masks in February. The lack of transparency resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of European lives. But the pandemic is not an isolated case of China breaching medical ethics and causing disillusionment.

In 2019, the China Tribunal (chinatribunal.com/), chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, concluded that China has practiced forced organ harvesting extensively and primarily from Falun Gong practitioners who have suffered over two decades of persecution, which constitutes, in essence, a cold genocide.

Europeans should be alarmed by the fact that China brutally persecutes people for their faith in truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, as these principles are deeply ingrained in European people. Europe’s leaders need to ask: What does Europe expect from China and what should Europe do about China’s human rights abuses?

Economic ties to China distort the answers. However, as the pandemic has unequivocally demonstrated, such economic ties can be fragile, especially when the business partner does not play fair. What will it take for Europe to awaken from its illusions about China?

Consensus on ethical standards, transparency and trust are key factors for any successful and healthy collaboration. Uncovering violations in these areas is a first step in building such consensus. Europe has started to address the issue of forced organ harvesting with the Written Declaration WD 48 passed by the European Parliament in 2016 and the Convention against Trafficking of Human Organs (No. 216) by the Council of Europe in 2015.

Independent research has confirmed that the Chinese Government has been killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs for over 20 years.

Recognized by the China Tribunal as a crime against humanity, the Chinese Government’s practice of forced organ harvesting has been understood as the primary means to suppress and eliminate Falun Gong.

What more can the US and other nations do to protect Falun Gong practitioners?

How can the US protect patients in this country from going to China to obtain these illegally procured organs?

What are the consequences for the US and other countries if steps are not taken to end forced organ harvesting?

Unmasking the COVID-19 Pandemic investigates the actions taken by the Chinese government during the initial stages of the outbreak and questions the intent behind them. The report describes the ‘Deception Protocol,’ used to analyze the similarities between the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003, COVID-19, and forced organ harvesting, now recognized as a crime against humanity. DAFOH Executive Director Dr. Torsten Trey said, “The Chinese government was aware of the virus outbreak at the end of 2019. A sequence of purposeful cover-ups and disinformation led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people so far. The Chinese government let loose a Trojan Horse of a virus to endanger millions of people worldwide. This is not the behavior of a responsible sovereign state but a downright amoral one.”

Panelists included: Rob Gray; Robert Spalding; Benedict Rogers; Dr. Adnan Sharif; and Peter Zhang. The videoconference was held in the English language.
