China’s state-run forced organ harvesting was long seen as a distant human rights issue. Killed to Order reveals America’s connection, and its consequences. Join Jan Jekielek live to explore what this means and what can be done. Why Attend Live Some conversations are best experienced in the room. This event offers a rare opportunity to engage directly, ask questions, and explore one of the most consequential human rights issues of our time in a thoughtful and serious setting. Why This Matters American Complicity Americans are actively, rather than passively, complicit in China’s state-run organ harvesting industry, a crime against humanity. Americans must become aware of this involvement to act against it. U.S. medical institutions have trained Chinese transplant surgeons. American companies have transferred transplant technology. Research partnerships have continued despite mounting evidence of abuse. The Ethical Backfire of “Deep Engagement” For decades, U.S. policy assumed that “deep engagement” with China through trade and cooperation would liberalize China. Instead, this has backfired. American transplant ethics have shifted toward a more utilitarian model, leading to a softening of the “dead donor rule”. It’s about whether we can hold the line on our own moral foundations. The Spread of Atrocities to New Victims Extreme human rights violations like organ harvesting tend to expand to new groups if left unchecked. Besides the Uyghur people, now there is growing concern that Christians, Catholics, and Tibetans are becoming the next targets. Understanding the Nature of the CCP The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not a “normal” government or even a standard dictatorship, but a totalitarian system where the supremacy of the Party is the absolute priority, and individual life is considered meaningless.
