He thinks that transplantation medicine affects one of the most important human rights problems in China: the death penalty and the decline of medical ethics when organs are traded." -

The Falun Gong member was force fed after going on a hunger strike. She suffered from being force fed through an oversized tube that was forced through the nose to the stomach. She was fed with her feces and urine. -

It’s like the holocaust all over again, only in China there is big money in the killings with a booming trade in transplants.
