Condemning China's practice of involuntary organ harvesting.
The resolution also serves to raise awareness among Texans regarding the potential risks associated with organ transplant tourism to China. It encourages medical professionals to educate their patients about the dangers of participating in such practices, aiming to prevent Texans from unknowingly engaging in these violations of human rights. This educational initiative reflects a broader effort to safeguard the well-being of citizens and to uphold ethical standards in medical practices.
H.R. 10 is a resolution that condemns China's practice of involuntary organ harvesting. It cites extensive evidence indicating that the Chinese communist regime has been forcibly removing organs from prisoners of conscience, particularly targeting groups such as Falun Gong practitioners, Tibetan Buddhists, House Church Christians, and Uyghurs. The bill highlights alarming statistics, indicating that the number of transplant surgeries conducted in China vastly exceeds the number of voluntary organ donations, suggesting premeditated and unethical practices in organ allocation.
Furthermore, the resolution urges the United States Congress and the President to implement measures that would prohibit any collaboration between U.S. medical and pharmaceutical entities and their Chinese counterparts involved in forced organ harvesting. It advocates for sanctions against Chinese medical authorities complicit in these acts and proposes the banning of entry into the U.S. for individuals found responsible for unethical organ removal. This aspect of the bill aligns itself with international calls for accountability regarding human rights violations occurring in China.
