Bill > SR39

This Resolution denounces the practice of organ harvesting from individuals who are imprisoned for their beliefs or political views in the People's Republic of China (PRC), with a particular focus on Falun Gong practitioners, who are believed to be the primary victims. The resolution highlights that while organ transplantation can be a medical miracle, China's organ supply is largely unaccounted for and not transparent, violating World Health Organization standards. It notes that for decades, the PRC has reportedly used organs from executed prisoners, and credible reports suggest that prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners and ethnic minorities like Uyghurs, are killed for their organs without their consent, which is a violation of international ethical standards and human rights. The resolution also calls for copies of this condemnation to be sent to the U.S. Secretary of State and Chinese government representatives.
