Re: Report on forced organ harvesting in China
#2If you're going to potentially violate human rights and set up incentives to murder people for profit, saving lives like this is the best reason to do it. The long waiting lists for organs in the US show that our choice is a tradeoff, not a best practice. Insofar as our system is caused by squeamishness and the desire to feel morally pure, it is harming people unnecessarily too.

forced organ removal of these peoples constitutes genocide in
its legal definition (due to a lack of proof of actual intent
to commit genocide), the panel nonetheless condemned the forced
organ removals as a crime against humanity and an act of
"unmatched wickedness".
How did China get away with this for so long?

Usually human rights is used as a tool for prevailing economic and foreign policy goals. The fact that we're now concerned with all these various human rights issues as well as spying, etc, is about the politics of our times than it is about human rights. But hey I will take it whichever way I can get it. So yeah please stop human rights abuses. Thanks.

Other nations could do less drastic things though. Sanctions would be an example.

#9Truly jarring if this is true. The systematic persecution of and violence against political opposition is one thing, the oppressive surveillance another, but I think forced organ harvest (especially on living people!) crosses a line.
What can we do?

But they’re not willing to give up access to cheap labor and environmental standards for their manufacturing and waste removal desires.
