Some Thoughts on the 568 Kidney Transplants Performed at the Army 205 Hospital in Jinzhou, China

Recently, the amount of organ transplant operations in Mainland China has increased dramatically, with a lot of Chinese media reporting positively on the medical personnel at these hospitals, saying that they were "extremely skillful and virtuous," and that the operation success rate was very high. Overseas patients have come to China in large numbers to receive organ transplants. Because there is a large number of secretly-detained Falun Gong practitioners who are used as organ donors, operations are performed quickly and smoothly. However, it has been reported that after returning to their home countries, many of the patients have died within a short period of time.

An independent investigation group in Canada called the organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, "a grotesque form of evil...new to this planet." Recent evidence shows that many hospitals in Mainland China -- especially military hospitals, have conspired with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their secret and illegal forced labour and concentration camps established for Falun Gong practitioners, to illegally harvest organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in order to make huge, quick profits.

The Liaoxi Business Newspaper wrote an article about Chief Surgeon Chen Rongshan of the Urology Department of Jinzhou City PLA 205 Hospital, reporting that he has performed 568 kidney transplants in recent years. We questioned family members of patients who had kidney transplant surgery performed by him, and they said that Chen Rongshan and others told them that the kidneys came from death row criminals and prisoners in labour camps.

It is common knowledge that the success rate for matching two persons who are not blood relatives for an organ transplant is about one in ten thousand. Therefore, under normal conditions, it takes years or even longer to find a successful match for organ transplants. Among the 568 surgeries performed by Chen Rongshan, if criminals with death sentences are indeed the kidney sources, then several million criminals would have had to be executed; however there are only several thousand criminals with death sentences in China annually. If prisoners in labour camps are the kidney sources, isn't it killing? Besides, prisoners in labour camps are not supposed to be killed! Since the CCP began the persecution of Falun Gong seven years ago, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have disappeared. Where are these people?

Liaoxi Business Newspaper claimed that the one-year survival rate after a kidney transplant done by Chen Rongshan was over 98%. Actual information shows this information to be false. According to an investigation, there were once six patients who received kidney transplants at the PLA 205 Hospital, with each kidney transplant costing forty to sixty thousand yuan. However, only one of the patients, who practised Falun Gong, survived, while all the other patients died shortly after. The illness of many patients was aggravated after receiving the kidney transplant, with the patient often having to stay in the intensive care ward at the cost of five thousand yuan a day. After one patient died, their family members said sadly, "If we had known the result of the kidney transplant, we would rather have saved the money for dialysis; at least they could have lived for two or three years."

It is not wrong that a seriously ill patient wants to get rid of the ailment. However, when he unintentionally becomes a factor in the killing of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP, how would a divine being look at it? There is an ancient saying: Good is rewarded with good, and evil meets with retribution. At present, many people are gradually seeing the evil nature of the CCP and they have quit the CCP and its related organisations. They understand Falun Dafa and treat practitioners well, knowing that only Falun Dafa is the ultimate safeguard for securing a future.

Now, the number of people announcing their withdrawal from the Party on the Internet has reached over ten million. We hope that people will seize this time to join the tide of withdrawing from the CCP and be eternally safe.

We believe that more and more righteous groups and people will step forward, and together prevent the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners by the evil CCP.
