      I look forward to Putin dying in agony as his body finally rejects itself entierly due to numerous transplants compounded with horrific co-infections due to all the imuno supressants he’d have to be after going throguh that many transplants. Guy is basically asking to be eaten alive by his own immune system.

        Somebody else mentioned that they thought they were probably talking about growing organs targeted to match DNA, but then I remembered this article I saw earlier this summer.

        https://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/forced-organ-harvesting-03202024133851.html

        I brushed it off bc of who was giving the testimony, but honestly this comment from Putin makes me question if there is some truth to that. If you were able to find a match with genetic similarities to yourself, it would decrease the chance of the organ being rejected. Idk could be just a random coincidence.

        The accusations against China using re-education camps to harvest organs closely matched to the recipient aren’t limited to only these kinds of organizations though. There was also this article released this past summer

        https://thediplomat.com/2025/07/xinjiangs-organ-transplant-expansion-sparks-alarm-over-uyghur-forced-organ-harvesting/

        “This massive expansion in Xinjiang – a region already under scrutiny for systematic repression – raises deeply troubling questions about where the organs will come from,” said Wendy Rogers, Distinguished Professor of Clinical Ethics and Chair of the International Advisory Board of the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China (ETAC). “There is simply no justification for such growth in transplant capacity given the region’s official organ donation rate, which is far below the national average.”

        This suggestion becomes even more concerning when considering the extensive surveillance and repression that Uyghurs face in the region. Detainees in the many internment camps in Xinjiang have reported being subjected to forced blood tests, ultrasounds, and organ-focused medical scans. These procedures align with organ compatibility testing, raising fears that Uyghurs are being prepped for organ harvesting while in detention.

        Not to be confused with the Arizona Wendy Rogers who she unfortunately shares her name with, this lady is an Australian professor at Macquarie and bioethicist. She’s been doing human rights work and publishing about this stuff for a long time

        The IAB recognized Wendy Rogers, Professor of Clinical Ethics at Macquarie University, Australia for her role in the registered Australian charity, International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse In China (ETAC). Rogers serves as ETAC’s Director and chairs its International Advisory Committee. In that capacity, Rogers raised public, professional, and governmental awareness of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China
