Mini-Doc: Forced Organ Harvesting in China
According to international research, forced organ harvesting is a state-sanctioned activity practiced in numerous Chinese hospitals. A study published on April 2, 2022 by the American Journal of Transplantation titled "Execution by Organ Procurement: Breaching the Dead Donor Rule in China," found that in 71 papers published in China between 1980 and 2015, many donors were not brain dead when their organs were removed. Human rights organizations have found that Falun Gong adherents, underground Christians, and more recently, Uyghur Muslims, are the main targets of forced organ harvesting. How aware is the public of this ongoing crime in China? Below is an interview with college students in Calgary, Canada. Produced and edited by Carolina Avendano.
