Not only do they torture them, they harvest their organs (sometimes while they are alive for "freshness"). China is on a whole different level.

- freeflight 9y agoGot any sources for that? Many of these claims remind me far too much about stories about babies being thrown out of incubators and whatnot.
- Hydraulix989 9y agoI think it's pretty believable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Go...
- freeflight 9y agoThat links back to a CNN article and that CNN article cites reports by http://endorganpillaging.org/ http://endorganpillaging.org/ A quick look through their reports frames this whole issue in a bit of a different light [0]. Mainly in the context of a Chinese shift from socialism to capitalism and the need for hospitals to fund themselves and run as for profits. The numbers are big, which looks scary at first glance but ain't really that surprising considering it's the most populated country on the planet. Sadly the report does not seem trying to account for that, by comparing transplants per capita with other countries, instead, it just cites big numbers going "Look how many!". Without wanting to sound too cynical, this looks more like an example of extreme capitalism, without any regards to ethics, and not for "Communist China being oh so evil", which this often is framed as. Which overall is a rather difficult topic as these are the very same dynamics that make China a world leader in human cloning research and one of the most important manufacturing hubs in the world.
