Forced Organ Harvesting

​​In several countries, but most notably China, organs are being harvested from political dissidents and religious minorities. Practitioners of Falun Gong, Uighur Muslims, and house church Christians are forced to undergo blood and tissue typing when they are arrested. Their organs are put on the market for transplant tourists who come to China from all over the world. These organ tourists arrive ready for a scheduled surgery on the date that the political prisoner is scheduled to be executed. The method of that execution is unknown, but there are a limited number of ways it could be carried out while preserving the organs of the "donor", and this is deeply troubling to consider. Unfortunately, Squid Games organ harvesting is happening in real life, and some American insurance companies fully participate, with Chinese transplant tourism as a covered benefit, even though this practice is outlawed in many other countries throughout Europe.
