    I’m on the wait list for a kidney transplant (O positive if you’re feeling insanely generous), and I can’t imagine how anyone could accept a stolen kidney from a prisoner… I would feel haunted from the inside out – the thought already really bothers me and I’ll hopefully be getting a kidney from someone who volunteered to be an organ donor. The entitlement some of these Israeli’s feel is superhuman in the worst way.

      If they put labels of origin, do you think there will be truth in advertising ™️?

      I’ve read the sales are primarily poorer states’ more affluent people, but we never really know.

        Past scandals have uncovered things like this place in India luring desperate job seekers to the country with promises of a good job, and they end up just cutting out their organs and giving them nothing.

        China has long harvested the organs of the people they execute, which is not an insubstantial number of people I think. Nothing like this though.

      Heres the thing, they’ve been dehumanising the palistinians forever.

      They don’t see them as human. Apparently, the children brought it upon themselves.

      Don’t worry tho, I’m sure the united states wont balkanise before they’re done flattening Gaza.

        Why would they be ok with accepting organs from subhumans though?

        Almost as if it makes no sense.

            Right… My point is the contradiction of considering Palestinians to be subhuman, yet being OK with accepting their organs.

            Sounds like something an investigative journalist could really dig into and unravel. The companies outside of Israel involved in this, selling, etc. should be sued and their employees ostracized at a minimum.
