Yeah, remember when I speculated about China's "mobile death vans?"

Yeah... called that one:

QUOTE ('LA Times')
BEIJING — After years of denial, China has acknowledged that many of the human organs used in transplants here are taken from executed prisoners and that many of the recipients are foreigners who pay hefty sums to avoid a long wait.


Interestingly, it's fueling a business in organ trade which Red China benefits from only because we have, insanely, outlawed organ trade in this part of the world. Sort of reminds me of how they'll be drilling for what should be our oil off the coast of Cuba.

QUOTE ('CNN')
Firms from China and India will be drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba, but U.S. companies are prohibited [due to environmental regulation] from bidding on the contracts, according to a recent report.


It's been shown that the entire economy of Soviet Russia, in the 70 odd years of its operation (if it can be called that), was looted from the West in one way or another. In other words, they never would have had the power to threaten (and nearly destroy) humanity if idiots hadn't fed them.

You know, they say that those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.

It is also worth noting that the excuses proferred for prohibiting such trade in the West are that the poor would be "exploited" by the wealthy. In fact this is precisely what has resulted from the ban.

They were afraid that the tempation of all that money would cause poorer people to make difficult and sometimes mistaken desicions about selling organs. Which is absurd considering the number of people who would be involved and the transparency which would be the result.

Instead, now, we have an evil government being payed to execute its populace en masse for the benefit of a corrupt and amoral few. Far beyond the nightmares of even the staunchest opponent of organ exchange.

There, are you happy with the results? It now comes as no surprise to me that many early conceptions of hell involved sadistically ironic punishments. That is how reality works.

So true, and well put.

I'd just like to add that anyone not willing to deal with faust is condemned to death on some socialist waiting list for organs.

Possibly, but its also likely that they could die either way. Its hardly a condemnation, but your odds are a fair bit smaller.
