Chinese alleged to harvest organs from Falun Gong practitioners

Thought you guys might be interested in this. Feel free to move it to "issues and opinions"

I saw this on the TV last night http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2006/s1715843.htm

Apparently in China donating organs after death is a taboo amongst the population, so the government turns to prisoners. Only problem is that "normal" criminals are usually too malnourished by the time they are executed for their organs to be of any use. So where do they turn to? Persecutable minorities of course. Apparently when organ transplants are in high demand, falun gong practitioners tend to disappear in China. Unlike other prisoners at Chinese Gulags, political prisoners have their health, blood group etc monitored in case someone more important needs a kidney transplant

Sounds like an urban legend to me, but if Lateline ABS says it is so, who am I to argue? I would not put it past the Chinese. They can harvest the bad half of the population to keep the good half alive. How very practical, creepy, but practical.

Ethics aside, these types of eugenics programs have very solid and logical grounding. I am all for extermination of retards, sterilization of the mentally inferior, promoting breeding between the best and brightest, universally applied death penalties for the violent, abolition of the welfare state, and letting anyone who wants to die, die.

Technically I don’t support any of these things, but only in an idealized, or highly efficient, society where there are ample resources to care for the masses. Why spend money on welfare for the lazy when you have children who can’t read? Why spend money on children who can’t read when they can best be made into laborers?

With ample money to care for all the sick, to provide intense psychological care for the criminally minded, to provide job skills training to all the niggers, and complete free range entertainment for all the mongoloid spawn of the retarded, I say go for it.

Unfortunately we do not have those kinds of resources yet, not even if we taxed the wealthy into poverty. The most practical, not ethical, humane, decent, or kind, but practical method is to exterminate, exterminate, exterminate. Harsh, but nature depends on this. The weak are culled so the strong may proliferate.
