MAMAKATING, N.Y.—When Gloria Taylor from Wurtsboro left the Mamakating Community Center on Sunday, she described her feeling as “depressed.”

She had just watched a documentary about forced organ harvesting called “Human Harvest“ that exposed a multibillion dollar organ transplant industry built with the blood of prisoners of conscience in China.

One doctor in the film described a patient of his who went to China for a kidney transplant. The first pair of kidneys didn’t work and so two more kidneys were brought to him. Those didn’t assimilate well either and another pair were procured.

That abundant supply of organs is unheard-of in developed countries, where people wait weeks to years for a donated organ that matches their blood and tissue type.

This is why, when the transplant numbers from China starting taking off in 2001, it was a mystery given that China had no effective organ donation system.

There would be only one thing more obscene, and that would be if the world turned its back again on it and did not make a concerted effort to stop it.
