THE LUCRATIVE BUSINESS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY




Crimes against humanity in the form of human organ trafficking are committed at an estimated rate of one per hour world-wide.  Patients who afford to pay $100,000-200,000 for kidney are served by international rings of gangsters in China, India, Pakistan Eastern Europe and Israel. 

“Consenting” donors are paid $2,500-5,000 (if that) and are left behind without follow-up medical care.  The difference between the cost of the original kidney and the completed transplant service is pocketed by surgeons, nephrologists and hospital administrators.

The British paper The Guardian has a graphic report (May 27, 2012), of a Chinese migrant worker who was forcefully submitted into the kidney “harvesting” even though he changed his mind.

Note: Like other criminal trades the business of illegal transplant organs will continue to thrive because the international demand is growing.  Prevalence of diabetic kidney disease and kidney failure is growing with increasing incidence of diabetes due to cheap food supply and over-eating in Western countries.   The cheapest sugar and calories-loaded sources are various Cola, sugar sweetened sodas, and alcoholic beverages.

It’s time to start taxing sweetened beverages to reduce their consumption and use the proceeds for medical care.  Much the same as happened with cigarettes smoking.

HARVESTING MARKET FRESH HUMAN ORGANS IN CHINA

We know through our on-going follow-up of publicly available information about the harvesting of human organs from death-row inmates in China.  The Chinese practice of securing market fresh kidneys, lungs and livers.  

Consider that.
A convict in China is sentenced to capital punishment.  What comes first?
Execution or harvesting of the human organs? 

Can harvesting of the organs precede execution?  Sure it can. 
Harvesting of organs prior to execution assures the freshness of the organ.   The subsequent execution is facilitated by the state of general anesthesia the condemned prisoner is in. 

The Wall Street Journal has a new report (3/24/12) with estimates of the number of annual executions.  You can read it here:


Warning:  The WSJ report will leave the reader sickened.

THE VATICAN SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF

The British newspaper The Independent reports today of human organ trafficking in the Sinai. 

http://ind.pn/xwL0o7

It is well documented that refugees from sub-Saharan countries are kidnapped for ransom in the Sinai.  Those who can not come up with the ransom money are killed/murdered for the salvage value of their transplantable internal organs - kindeys, heart, lungs, and corneas.

The newsworhty part in this report is that the Vatican is aware of the atrocities in the Sinai. 
Has anyone heard a comment from the Vatican lately?
