Organ Harvesting in China: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Dongxue Dai:

On Deputy Crowe's question of how one human being could do this to another human being, from my perspective the problem is the brainwashing machine of the Communist Party. For instance, the Falun Gong, some of whom are seated here or can be seen on Grafton Street and so on, are normal citizens of society but in Chinese Communist Party propaganda they are vilified, demonised and labelled as enemies. When doctors previously did the harvesting they did not feel guilty because they were only carrying out a task but nowadays they are paid large sums of money for doing so. Following the destruction of traditional culture and several political movements, including cultural revolution, the former party leader encouraged everybody to make money. Nowadays in Chinese people's minds there is nothing left only money. When people can make money they will do anything and everything for that purpose.
