Israel harvested organs illegally

Israel has admitted that in the 1990s, its forensic pathologists harvested organs from dead bodies, including Palestinians, without their families' permission.

The issue emerged with publication of an interview with the then-head of Israel's Abu Kabir forensic institute, Jehuda Hiss. The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic, who released it because of a huge controversy last summer over an allegation by a Swedish newspaper ... The Channel 2 report said in the 1990s, forensic specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives.

In a response to the TV report, the Israeli military confirmed the practice took place. "This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer," the military said ...

“Israel has admitted that in the 1990s, its forensic pathologists harvested organs”

“Israel has admitted”? Wow. I didn’t know Israel had developed a mouth and consciousness. That’s quite newsworthy on its own, I should think.

Any opportunity to smear the jewish state. Something done by a few people that 99.99% of people didn’t know about & suddenly it’s “Israel has admitted”.

When it’s cures for diseases, life-enhancing technology, then it’s Dr. So-and-so, and maybe that he’s from the University of Haifa, buried in paragraph 15.

It’s true. But reports that Israel eats Palestinian babies are somewhat exaggerated.

there are people that really believe that. I was doing a search the other day that bordered on Alex-jonesy issues & saw websites where they are literally talking about evil jews running america & having baby-eating parties. It was like going back in time 70 years. Pravda blogs was a big contributer IIRC

Wow. Good thing they never do this kind of thing in America.

Next thing you know, the US government will force women to wait till they're 50 for mammograms, federally fund abortions, and take half the funding from Medicare and give it to illegal aliens....

Mark Lavie is a notoriously inaccurate and biased reporter when it comes to Israel.

Saying that cave in Hebron is holy to Christians and Muslims (it is holy to Jews and Muslims) and quoting Israeli officials as referring to terrorists as militia members are some of Lavie's garbage. This article may be another.

The albanian mohamedeads have already taken organs from Christian Serbs:

That said I hardly believe the Istaelis did.

I am not a medical person but isn’t there some problem with harvesting any kind of organ from a body that has been dead over a certain amount of time, say an hour?

I think ‘harvesting’ organs of any kind has to be done under certain conditions, strict conditions.

Well then, there is only one way to make up for this horror.

Kill an equal number of Palesinians, but don't harvest their organs.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Oooooo, I hope all that doesn't happen here (/snic).

There's hundreds of millions of dollars to be made selling organs and body parts. And numerous lucrative organ markets would emerge, once health records are nationalized under Obamacare.

Now that the economy is totally destroyed, carving up dead bodies and selling organs and body parts will have enormous appeal as a gov’t money-maker.

A huge controversy erupted last summer in Israel over an allegation by a Swedish newspaper that Israel was killing Palestinians to harvest their organs. Israel hotly denied the charge.

BTW, you forgot to list ObamaCare Death Panels.

===========================================

That's Why You're Worth More Dead Than Alive

The infamous 2007 US Body Parts Scandal involved many NY-NJ funeral homes. Ghoulish individuals actually cut-up dead bodies without the bereaved families' knowledge or consent. They made millions selling everything---from skin to bones to organs. They would insert PVC pipe into the lacerated extremities to hide their savagery.

Segue to the 2009 New Jersey-Brooklyn body-snatchers.......where a rabbi was caught selling kidneys for $100,00 "he said" he got from Phillipine donors who "he said" were paid $10,000.

“The Chinese are still doing this today with prisoners sentenced to death.”

It is seldom that anyone but the state has first dibs on a dead body. After all, you ain’t in it anymore. Some countries give more consideration than others, but even the US and its states don’t let anyone get in their way when it comes to the newly deceased. For example, it is quite common for an autopsy to be mandatory if the death takes place outside of a hospital (I’m sure there are some docs or coroners here that can elaborate on that). Tissue samples are almost always taken, and in many cases retained for the purposes of the autopsy. In other countries there are obviously greater uses made of the dead. Parts is parts.

So don’t assume that the control over your body extends past your demise. It doesn’t. Generally the states have no further use for your carcass after the official investigation is completed. It starts to stink, and you can see why they are just as happy to be rid of it. That’s when the relatives get their shot. If no relatives step forward, the state will dispose of it. Well before the body is disposed of, the deceased certainly has no need for the earthly remains and is long gone for somewhere/somewhen else.

I agree. I’m all for more donor organs being taken.
I think it should be a bit more difficult for families
to block donations of major organs unless they have something in writing from the deceased in advance.

Since organs have great financial value, expect medical decisions to be shaped by those values.

Therefore, I have revoked my organ gift agreement.

Let’s wait for actual confirmation like the original news story on channel 2 with verification. Lavie is no unbiased observer and has been caught misquoting in the past.
