And he'll never realize the irony of how lucky he is that he's going through the Western justice system instead of China's.
yeah ours is bad as fuck but....parts of you get sold over there. Didn't most of that bodies exhibit turn out to be Chinese prisoners?
There's enough provable atrocities being committed by the Chinese govt to worry about the conspiracy theories as well. Especially when a lot of the body and organ harvest theories are spread by a California mansion dwelling homophobic cult leader who can totally levitate he just doesn't have to prove it to you!
its a little early to be that stoned dude, maybe don't wake and bake
By age eight, he had acquired "the superb great law with supernatural powers," which was supposed to include invisibility, levitation, etc. Li Hongzhi
I was just being a jackass, sorry. Thanks for the link wozers!
Not at all, we're all just being jackassed :).
Here's a fun video essay on the craziness that is Falun gong and the Epoch Times if you want to go further down the rabbit hole: https://youtu.be/ncr62WQnIHA?si=XsIoYofM9wJK7Pwk
Wow I saw that.
Just looked it up again. Lot's of accusations and basically all the Bodies people have said is 'nope totally donated from this one medical school' but that school can provide absolutely no documentation that they are actually donated willingly.
Well, the school might have…. But where did they get the bodies from (ominous music!)
No seriously that's the crux of this. Thats where the paper trail seems to run cold it seems. They definitely came from this school and the school is just like 'fuck you they were donated'
That's also an appropriate response if they're telling the truth
Under normal circumstances? But people donating their body for things like this and wanting it to be left a total secret? You would think the people who donated their bodies to be part of this display would want it to be known that they did this
A lot of people do donate their body "for scientific use" which can mean anything from a single necropsy, to being left to decompose in the sun for criminalistics research, to being filletted into thin strips to show at the museum. I would do that if I could, no need to thank me when I'm dead.
True but supposedly a lot of people wanted to be part of this if I remember right. That was a big thing about it.
Which leads back to this being a suspicious. Just no proof anywhere at all that these are people who donated their body to science.
They're still made anonymous regardless, according to the official website. If anybody is looking for recognition for their donation, they're looking at the wrong place. Lol
No, it couldn't.
Parts of people have always been sold for research and it's no different than any other reagent. Some people even turned this into a successful business by the turn of the 50s by selling and patenting their tissues with remarkable abilities like immunity to polio. This wouldn't surprise anyone in the medical sciences.
Ah Chinese are aware of the dangers of being invited for tea. They’d probably be in trouble if they didn’t harass this person.
