Title: China’s Organ Transplant Industry and Falun Gong Organ Harvesting: An Economic Analysis

Summary: This thesis evaluated the allegation that systematic, large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners have been supplying the majority of organs for the organ transplant industry in China since 1999. Despite the tremendous growth in the organ transplant industry after 1999, the known sources of organ supply — namely the living donors, brain-dead, Non-Heart-Beating-Donors and executed prisoners—have not shown significant growth over time and fail to explain the huge quantity of annual transplants. The detained population of Falun Gong practitioners is found to have the requisite population size and characteristics of a large “organ bank.” They are the only prison group that provides an adequate explanation for the explosive growth in the volume of China’s organ transplants between 2000 and 2005. It is the conclusion of this paper that the organs of detained Falun Gong practitioners are being systematically harvested for use in China’s organ transplant industry — and that such practice is an industrialized form of the Communist Party’s systematic persecution against Falun Gong.
