Heard something interesting on NPR last weekend. A woman was conducting research in China and learned that many people there believe that the Chinese children adopted to the United States are used for organ harvesting.
This actually didn't surpise me. Back in college, our university paper used to do gag editions during finals. One "article" told the story of a student who had woken up in his bathtub to find his abdomen slashed on both sides and his kidneys removed. A friend from Hong Kong got totally freaked by the article until I explained the special edition of the paper. She explained that stories of organ removal for harvesting on the black market are common in China and Hong Kong.
But, getting back to the Chinese adoption/organ harvesting topic ... If the Chinese believe Americans are harvesting Chinese adoptees' organs, doesn't that make the Chinese human suppliers for organ harvesting if they continue to put their children up for U.S. adoption?
