The international association DAFOH (Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilgour-Matas_report>) is fighting unethical and illegal organ harvesting. Forced organ harvesting, the removal of organs from a donor without obtaining prior free and voluntary consent, is not only a gross violation of medical ethics but also a violation of the rights to life, health and bodily integrity. DAFOH is especially focusing on China <http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.9166666667,116.383333333&spn=10.0,10.0&q=39.9166666667,116.383333333%20(China)&t=h>, since in that country the largest number of organs have been harvested without consent.
Evidence collected since 2006 points out that the source of the bulk of Chinese transplant organs are prisoners of conscience, who are killed in the process of the organ extraction. An estimated 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners were victims of forced organ harvesting between 2000 and 2008. Falun Gong <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong> is a Chinese spiritual practice that combines meditation and exercises with a specific moral philosophy. Practioners have been persecuted by the Chinese government <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China> since 1999 as the movement is seen as a threat to national security; many members have been incarcerated. Their tissue compatibility has been systematically analyzed and stored in data banks. This process allows Chinese transplant surgeons to provide donor organs including kidney, heart, pancreas, liver, skin, and cornea on short notice. http://www.kractivist.org/oppose-organ-harvesting-from-living-falun-gong-practitioners-by-china-torture-medicalethics/ PLEASE SIGN PETITION PLEASE SIGN PETITION TO UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER HERE <https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/UN_Human_Rights_High_Commissioner_End_the_forced_organ_harvesting_from_detained_Falun_Gong_practitioners/?nTwOobb> -- Adv Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist Hey folks, coined this term ” Kracktivism “, check out my blog *http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/ <http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/>* Blog for Political prisoners https://indiapoliticalprisoners.wordpress.com Blog for Girl child- http://fassmumbai.wordpress.com/ Blog for Kashmir -http://kashmirsolidaritymumbai.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/Kracktivist https://www.facebook.com/kamayani *I carry a torch in one hand And a bucket of water in the other: With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven And put out the flames of Hell So that voyagers to God can rip the veils And see the real goal.......
