On this episode we discuss how the Chinese government launched a campaign in the late 90's to “eradicate” the spiritual group Falun Gong, then began imprisoning and torturing practitioners. When China’s transplant numbers increased dramatically, it became clear that the Falun Gong prisoners were being killed just so their organs could be harvested.
