醫學專家揭批「活摘」謠言

澳大利亞格里菲斯大學的知名器官移植問題專家坎貝爾•弗雷澤 (Campbell Fraser)博士
　　國際在線報道（記者 張旭 蘇毅）：近日，澳大利亞格里菲斯大學的知名器官移植問題專家坎貝爾•弗雷澤 (Campbell Fraser)博士在接受記者採訪時表示，中國在「反對器官販賣全球峰會」上提出的「中國方案」是很好的，中國不僅在解決國內的器官移植問題方面取得了進步，實際上也在幫助打擊全世界的器官販賣。
　　據悉，弗雷澤的主要研究領域是跨國人體器官販賣，與包括世界衛生組織在內的各國衛生官員、非營利組織以及執法部門合作打擊人體器官非法交易。弗雷澤剛剛出席了2月7日至8日由梵蒂岡教皇科學院舉辦的「反對器官販賣全球峰會」。
　　弗雷澤告訴記者，他從2008年起開始監控全球器官販賣的發展趨勢，並走訪世界各地，採訪了1000多名器官販賣的受害者、購買者、中間商以及醫生。「我的研究結果顯示，外國人來中國進行器官移植的趨勢已經停止了。我相信中國的改變是真實的，也正是因為這個原因，我覺得國際社會應該支持和鼓勵中國的這種改變，攜手打擊器官販賣問題，而不是聽取那些試圖阻止我們進步的人士的政治宣傳。」弗雷澤說。
　　弗雷澤口中的「試圖阻止我們進步的人士」是指法輪功人員，他們宣稱中國政府「活摘」法輪功人員器官，並非法出售到全國各地乃至境外。
　　弗雷澤對記者披露稱，就因為他的研究成果跟法輪功所宣稱的不符，所以他個人受到了法輪功人員的多次騷擾。「去年8月，我在香港舉行的第26屆國際器官移植協會大會上報告我的研究成果時，他們（法輪功人員）去跟會議組織方投訴我，還跟我的僱主投訴我。每當我演講的時候，他們就辱罵我，或者對我大喊大叫，企圖阻止我說話。」
　　弗雷澤說，當時他還以為自己是唯一一個受到法輪功人員騷擾的人，後來發現有好幾位跟他一樣的學者也受到了法輪功人員的騷擾，僅僅因為他們的研究成果跟法輪功的宣稱不符。
　　「其實中國在打擊器官販賣方面已經取得了進步。」弗雷澤說，「不僅在中國本土解決了器官販賣問題，實際上也在幫助打擊全世界的器官販賣問題。」
　　中國人體器官捐獻與移植委員會主任委員、中國器官移植髮展基金會理事長黃潔夫也在參加「反對器官販賣全球峰會」時表示，中國政府高度重視器官捐獻與移植工作，2007年中國頒布《人體器官移植條例》，2011年把器官買賣和非自願摘取器官納入刑法調整範圍，自2015年1月1日起中國全面停止使用死囚器官，公民自願捐獻成為唯一合法來源；中國還制定了系列配套政策，成立了人體器官捐獻與移植委員會，推動器官捐獻與移植依法規範開展。
　　「在『反對器官販賣全球峰會』上，黃潔夫還代表中國政府倡議由世界衛生組織牽頭，成立對成員國進行器官移植監管的特別委員會。中國提出的這些建議是很好的。中國是一個重要的國家、一個全球的領導者，所以中國以身作則非常重要，在打擊器官販賣的道路上有中國同行是最棒的事情之一。」 弗雷澤說。（翻譯：何雨陽）

Australian expert: China helps to combat global organ trafficking
China is helping the world to fight against the problem of organ trafficking, an international human organ trade expert from Australia said during a recent interview with China Radio International (CRI).
Campbell Fraser with Griffith University in Brisbane has just attended the two-day Pontifical Academy Summit (PAS) on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism.
During the PAS, Jiefu Huang, professor and chairman of the China National Organ Donation and Transplantation Committee, said China had imposed a total ban on the use of executed prisoners' organs for transplantation since the beginning of 2015.
Fraser said he has monitored global trends on organ trafficking for years and his research has shown that foreigners have stopped coming to China for organ transplantation based on his interviews with over 1000 organ buyers, sellers, brokers, and doctors.
"I'm absolutely convinced that the reforms in China are absolutely true, and for that reason, I believe the international community should be supportive of the changes in China and encouraging China, and to keep going on this wonderful journey they are going on, and not listening to the political propaganda of people who are trying to stop our progress," Fraser said.
Fraser revealed that his research prompted harassment from Falun Gong cult members just because it was inconsistent with the claims made by Falun Gong, "I had a lot of personal troubles with Falun Gong. When I presented an academic paper at the Hong Kong transplantation conference last year, they complained to my employer, they complained to the conference organizers. When I was speaking, they interrupted me, shouted at me, and generally tried to stop me speaking. "
Fraser had thought that perhaps he was the only person harassed by Falun Gong, but later he found that several other scholars who have not supported the claims made by Falun Gong have also been harassed by cult members.
The Chinese government banned Falun Gong as a cult in 1999, accusing it of disguising as a religious group to brainwash practitioners, extracting money from them, and even encouraging practitioners to set themselves alight.
Although Falun Gong made unfair claims about the Chinese government, China has made progress on cracking down on organ trafficking, Fraser said. China is not only solving its organ trafficking problem in China, but also actually assisting the world with solving the organ trafficking problem.
Speaking on behalf of China at the PAS summit which concluded on Feb. 8, Jiefu Huang proposed the establishment of a World Health Organization (WHO) task force to fulfill the mission of the PAS in order to eradicate organ trafficking.
"China is such an important country, a global leader, so it's really important for China to lead by example, and this is one of the greatest things of having them, China actually gives some good ideas, we are looking at China, we can use some of the ideas to solve the problems of trafficking in Egypt, in Pakistan, and India, and a few other countries," Fraser said.
