Journalist Jan Jekielek Warns Toronto Audience About Chinas Killed-to-Order Organ Harvesting System

While Canadians seeking a heart transplant may wait months or years to find a match, in China, one can be obtained within weeks, New York Times best-selling author and Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek said at a book talk event in Toronto. But there is a very dark reality behind this.Jekielek, a China researcher, released a new book titled “Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary” in March, and held a book talk and Q&A event at Toronto City Hall on May 27.“If I’m this wealthy transplant tourist and I have very loose morals and $100,000 or $200,000 to spend, I can show up, pay that cash, and at that moment there’s a database of people,” Jekielek said during the event.He noted there are incarcerated Falun Gong practitioners, and more recently Uyghur Muslims, who make up a pool of “so-called donors” who have already been blood-typed and tissue-typed in advance, allowing a matched donor to be “shipped and killed to order.”The title of his book, “Killed to Order,” reflects this inversion of an ethical organ donor system, where one can pay to receive an organ from a vast pool of potential victims, he said.
