OTTAWA, Canada—Growing evidence that the Chinese regime is taking organs from religious and political prisoners, and killing them in the process, is putting Canadian transplant physicians in a tough spot, says Dr. Jeff Zaltzman, the head of renal (kidney) transplants at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.
He has had at least 50 patients go to China for transplants, almost all of them Chinese Canadians.
“I had one young man who had two scars. The first kidney that was transplanted in China didn’t work, and within a few days, he already had a second transplant. That would never happen in Canada,” Zaltzman said.
Zaltzman says what is happening in China has created a third kind of donor that is not found in developed countries like Canada. This other type is the “living dead,” he said.
“They are living and then they become dead. So that is a unique term to the Chinese situation,” Zaltzman said.
