Michigan State Representative Recommends Residents to Avoid Organ Transplants in China

April 27, 2007 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Michigan USA

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 18, 2007, Dr. Charles Lee, an American citizen who was illegally jailed by Chinese Communist Party for three years for spreading truth of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and Mr. David Kilgour, Canada's former Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, visited Michigan State legislators before they attended the seminar in Michigan State University.

At the welcome party hosted by House Representative Mr. Aldo Vagnozzi, Charles Lee talked about the tortures he experienced in Chinese jails. For example, the warden tied him to a bed for 37 hours and put a long tube into his nose to force-feed him. He said, "The communist party can do any evil things."

Mr. David Kilgour introduced the report titled Bloody Harvest, an independent investigation into allegations of organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China." The report was compiled by he and Mr. David Matas. He said many people travel to China to have organ transplants and don't realize that the organs are harvested from live Falun Gong practitioners and sold with huge profits.

Kilgour continued, "The Chinese authorities in the post Mao era have been following the policy of 'no matter white or black, a cat that catches the mouse is a good one' that encouraged all Chinese to pursue money. But lacking true democracy, China doesn't have a mechanism to monitor violations of human rights." Under the rule of the Communist Party, cases ignoring the sanctity of human life happen frequently but the responsible persons can often escape legal prosecution.

Michigan House Representative Mrs. Lisa Wojno suggested state legislators warn residents not to have organ transplants in mainland China.

Mr. Vagnozzi stated that April 18 is the 60th anniversary of the end of Holocaust. Unfortunately, a similar massacre is happening in China now. Some people in China are making big money by harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. He was upset that there were still some people turning their eyes away from Chinese Communist Party's crime of organ harvesting and some even chose not to learn the truth.
