The idea of harvesting people's organs is like a story from science fiction. The idea that any human being would contemplate this type of policy is the ultimate horror. I agreed initially to the motion proposed by Senator Norris and I have no problem supporting this.
When we discussed another human rights violation, the Magnitsky case, we talked about inviting the Russian ambassador to the committee. Is this a case in which we would have good reason to invite the Chinese ambassador to the committee to discuss the issue? If this motion is passed, we should certainly inform China officially of our concerns.
