NTD is associated with the FalunGang religious group which is illegal in China and their is a scandal that some were political prisoners who were killed to sell their organs. LINK
;;;before you point fingers at China, remember when Project Veritas found that Planned Parenthood was getting organs from late term abortions (and the local Dcmocrats in California made sure that PV was sued).
and then there are all those Democratic governors and legistlators who pass laws allowing abortion up to time of birth at nine months...
I am so old that I remember when the AMA and their ethicists backed the idea of getting organs from Anencephalic babies 40 years ago: The problem? These kids have a brain stem, so it means they don't meet the brain dead criteria, and if allowed, it is a quick ethical slide into using people in comas for organs (something the ethicists have also been trying to push for 30 years) as one can see from this proposal in Lancet in Nov 1997. This met opposition as this letter from Lancet in 1998 shows:
The announcement on television and radio by J Radcliffe-Richards on behalf of the International Forum for Transplant Ethics (preceding the group's Lancet paper ), suggesting that patients in permanent vegetative state (PVS), in whom a court had given consent to withdrawal of treatment, could be given a lethal injection to expedite death so that their organs can be removed for transplantation must be challenged
The use of a lethal injection to terminate the life of an individual who is clearly alive although without cognitive brain function and in whom established brain death criteria are not fulfilled is to be deplored, however well meant. The proposal suggests euthanasia and, even worse, smacks of the activities of totalitarian regimes.
