Statement from Concerned Chinese Americans

Background on Organ Harvesting:


As a Chinese American who fled communist China to pursue freedom in US after the Tiananmen Masaccre, I am deeply disturbed by BodyWorlds and how it has managed to deceive the American public here.


Earlier this month, a Chinese doctor's wife revealed a horror story about a death concentration camp in Sujiatun district, city of Shenyang, 230 miles away from Von Hagen's body worlds factory in Dalian.?This Chinese doctor was one of the surgeons in the concentration camp, charged with removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners, men and women, young and old.


According to the witness, due to the Communist Party's policy that the deaths of Falun Gong practitioners are "counted as suicide," the hospital can detain and remove organs from them live without any procedures. Doctors were told that doing such things to Falun Gong practitioners were not crimes. Instead, they were just doing some "cleaning" work for the Chinese Communist Party. Those on the operation table were either mentally destroyed or had lost consciousness. Major targets of cornea removal were the elderly and children. This horrifying job had a destructive impact on the husband's life, the wife said.


It is against Chinese culture and moral to have one's own or loved one's body be dissected for public show.


The Falun Gong’s Claim:
The creator of the Body Worlds, German businessman Gunther Von Hagen, has his body-processing factory in Dalian, northeast China. It is located close to three concentration camps that are notorious for their rising death toll of the Falun Gong practitioners, killed for their belief in the universal principle of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.
How did Von Hagen's corpse factory in China manage to have so many bodies? Where did these bodies come from? Please see attached investigative report from German magazine Der Spiegel.
If you call Von Hagen's PR and Media person, she will tell you about the "interim injunction" against Der Spiegel. But she will not tell you the following facts:

Von Hagen has denied using Chinese prisoners, but states he uses only fetuses and body parts from respected and reputable donor programs in China, from Chinese authorities, hospitals, labs, etc

Von Hagen adds that the bodies were “all heavily checked and scrutinized by Chinese authorities”, as is the case with all his imports and exports of bodies that he does in China.

It turn out German Law do not prohibit use of questionably obtained bodies, the do not have a law for this. They discovered many bodies and body parts but were investigating only the legal import of those and not where they came from or how they died.

They never even looked into the circumstances under which these people passed away and how they were obtained, as no such law exists in Germany. Import papers checked out. His claim that charges were dropped in conjunction with any bodies obtained illegally from China proved not to be of Chinese prisoners is nonsense, this was never investigated.
