UK: HORRIFIED BY EVIDENCE OF THE GRIM TRAFFIC IN PRISONERS' BODY PARTS, LORD PHILIP HUNT HOPES HIS "ORGAN TOURISM AND CADAVERS ON DISPLAY BILL" WILL CLOSE ALL REMAINING AVENUES FOR UK CITIZENS TO TRAVEL TO COUNTRIES SUCH AS CHINA FOR ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION, AND BAN "THE DREADFUL TRAVELLING CIRCUS OF BODY EXHIBITIONS, WHICH SOURCES DECEASED BODIES FROM CHINA," ALLEGED NEWS. [1] The "Organ Tourism and Cadavers on Display Bill [HL]" can be accessed at link [2]. The United Kingdom has called for a stop of anatomic exhibitions of "real bodies" - reportedly of Chinese prisoners; Alleged News. [3]
Manikins of corpses
Real-life manikins of human corpses are exhibited throughout the world: they come from China, and reportedly may be connected to organ harvesting; Alleged News. [3] Macabre, money-making exhibitions parading the corpses of anonymous Chinese prisoners must stop, say UK Lords, who have urged the government to call a halt to its alleged complicity in China's organ harvesting trade once and for all; Alleged News. [1]
Lord Hunt appalled
Sickened by the 2018 "Real Bodies" exhibition in Birmingham that paraded plastinated real-life manikins of deceased human beings, Lord Hunt was appalled to discover that the bodies were "unclaimed bodies" with no identity documents or consent, sourced from Dalian Hoffen Biotech in Dalian, China; Alleged News. [1]
Final insult
The exhibition, with its use of "real human specimens..." was a tasteless "carnival of horrors" according to Lord David Alton, who described it as "a final sneering insult to the victims". [1]
Sydney Australia
Similar exhibitions have also attracted controversy; Alleged News. [1] In Sydney, Australia, Imagine Exhibitions ran an exhibition, the Real Bodies-The Exhibition; which also featured plasticised human bodies; Alleged News. [4] This provoked an open letter signed by lawyers, academics, ethicists and human rights advocates who urged the Australian government to close down the exhibition; Alleged News. [4]
The authors of the letter reportedly stated;
"Real Bodies - The Exhibition is a for-profit business which tours the world exhibiting flayed, plastinated human corpses fashioned into grotesque postures along with plastinated specimens of various human organs.
"Doctors, ethicists, lawyers and human rights advocates at ETAC have substantial concerns about the provenance of the bodies used in this exhibition. Allegedly, the exhibits are sourced from the unclaimed corpses of people who have died in hospital, procured by the Public Security Bureau, however it is not possible the bodies were 'unclaimed', as according to regulations and autopsy rules issued by China's Ministry of Health on February 22, 1979, bodies can only be declared 'unclaimed' after 30 days. Of note, the plastination process, which involves the use of silicon, epoxy, and other polymer mixtures to replace the fluid in the human body, must occur within 48 hours of death. Therefore, it is not possible to plastinate a corpse that is 30 days old.
"Rather than being sourced from unclaimed bodies, as the exhibitors claim, there is credible evidence that these are the bodies of executed prisoners and prisoners of conscience from China," Alleged News. [4]
Citing ethical concerns, France and Israel as well as Hawaii and Seattle, banned similar exhibitions in the past; Alleged News. [4] A French judge shut down the exhibition, Our Body: A Corps Ouvert, featuring 17 Chinese bodies in various positions, some skinless or with muscles flayed; Alleged News. [4]
The Paris judge said legally, the proper place for corpses was "in a cemetery", and displaying corpses for commercial profit showed a lack of respect for the dead; Alleged News. [4] In 2012, another similar exhibition of dead Chinese was also closed down by court order in Tel Aviv; Alleged News. [4]
Organ Trade
Evidence of CCP complicity in the organ trade was presented by the China Tribunal in 2019; Alleged News. [1] Lord Hunt has pressed for tightening up the law, citing the testimony of Sayragul Sauytbay during the recent Uyghur Tribunal in London, who had discovered medical files detailing Uyghur detainees' blood types and results of liver tests while she was working at a Uyghur detention camp; Alleged News. [1]
Crematorium
At the same Tribunal, Ethan Gutmann, senior research Fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, presented his December 2020 report, in which he described the human organ "fast lanes" in the Urumqi and Kashgar airports and the construction of a vast crematorium near one of the camps in particular; Alleged News. [1]
Human Tissue Act 2004
Lord Hunt's Bill would amend the Human Tissue Act 2004, in order to ensure that appropriate consent had been given by organ donors for transplantation activities carried out abroad and for the public display of imported cadavers; Alleged News. [1]
Call for reform
Lord Alton explained how after one of the "Real Bodies" exhibitions, he had written to The Times with Professor Jo Martin, President of the Royal College of Pathologists, and 55 others, in order to demand reform of legislation; Alleged News. [1] "Lord Hunt's Bill now seeks to do precisely that and he is to be warmly commended, he said; Alleged News. [1]
Lord Alton pressed for further action to identify the origins and ethnic identity of the people who were being paraded; Alleged News. [1] "The law did not require the Coroner to determine how the corpses exhibited in Birmingham had died. It should," he maintained; Alleged News. [1]
Woman in advanced pregnancy
Baroness Finlay detailed emails which revealed how some bodies were supplied for plastination in China after key organs had been removed, "suggesting their bodies are the remains from a despicable trade in genocide, organ harvesting and commercial transplantation in China," she said; Alleged News. [1] "These bodies on display included a woman in advanced pregnancy. Did she give fully informed consent when dying in pregnancy? The evidence of proper consent processes should be open to international scrutiny. It is not," the Baroness said; Alleged News. [1]
Unborn children
The exhibition at Birmingham reportedly displayed a pregnant woman complete with her unborn baby in the womb, as well as foetuses from 10 weeks to 32 weeks gestation; Alleged News. [5]
Denial of basic human rights
Lord MacKenzie expressed his "mounting despair" over the arrests, gang rapes, sterilizations and use as organ banks on an industrial scale of China's minorities such as Falun Gong and the Uyghurs, Alleged News. [1] "It is also clear that we are complicit in this denial of basic human rights in providing a ready market for the high demand for organs forcibly taken, in many cases from living prisoners," he said; Alleged News. [1]
Lord MacKenzie went on to say, "At last, I am delighted that this House can put its money where its mouth is and is taking legislative action by means of this Bill to make it illegal to be complicit in such organ harvesting and transplant trafficking," adding "we have a moral duty - and also, hopefully, a legal duty - to do something about it," Alleged News. [1]
Prevention of organ tourism
Lord MacKenzie hoped that the UK would join Spain, Italy, Taiwan, Israel, Belgium, Norway, and South Korea, who have already taken legislative action to prevent organ tourism by their citizens to China, Alleged News. [1]
Plastination technique
Plastination is a process designed to preserve the body, Alleged News. [6] The first step in plastination is fixation, in which formaldehyde or other preservation solutions are pumped through the arteries in order to kill bacteria, and to prevent decomposition of the tissues; Alleged News. [6] Then dissection (cutting of the body) starts: skin, fatty and connective tissues are removed; Alleged News. [6] Step 2 is removal of body fat and water from the human corpse, Alleged News. [6] Water and soluble fats are dissolved from the body in a bath of acetone; Alleged News. [6]
The third step is forced impregnation, where the human corpse is placed in a bath of liquid polymer, such as silicone rubber, polyester or epoxy resin; Alleged News. [6]
The fourth step is positioning: after vacuum impregnation, the corpse is flexible and can be moved into different positions with the help of wires, needles, clamps and foam blocks; Alleged News. [6]
The fifth and final step is curing (hardening) of the corpse; Alleged News. [6] Depending on the polymer used, this is done with gas, light or heat; Alleged News. [6]
Gravitas - did China harvest organs of its own citizens?
Created in God's Image
In other words, a recently dead human person has solution pumped through his or her body, the skin is stripped away, body fat and water is melted away. The dead person is then treated to appear as a plastic form.
After that, the dead human - who was created in the Image and Likeness of God - is stretched and moved into various positions. The body is fixed into position with wires, sharp needles, clamps and foam blocks. Finally the corpse is hardened by gas, light or heat.
Sale of tickets
After completion of plastination process, the corpses are then placed on public display within exhibition. Money exchanges hands so spectators can view the plastinated deceased. Those who buy tickets often do not realize the process which has led to the deceased being exhibited.
Corporal Work of Mercy: Burial of the dead
We must treat the human body with respect because God made it in His Image (Genesis 1:27). Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and we are called to take care of and honor God's temple. Thus each human body should be treated with respect and holy dignity.
Historically, the Church has shown great reverence and compassion for those in the final stages of life. One of the great Corporal Works of Mercy is to bury the dead and care for the grieving. The Church shows deep respect for the dignity of the human body. [7]
As a temple of the Holy Spirit and the fact that the human body will be resurrected into life everlasting as declared by Jesus, the Son of God (John 11:25), the final disposition of a person is a sacred matter.
Burial or entombment of the deceased person's body or cremated remains bears testimony that those who have gone before us are treated with reverence as members of the Communion of the Saints. [7]
PLASTINATION IS DESECRATION
DISRESPECT OF THE DEAD
IS MORALLY WRONG!
