May is 45 years old. She has a loving husband and two young daughters. She could be someone you know.
Her symptoms begin with fatigue, swelling in her ankles and feet, and a loss of appetite—then steadily grow more alarming: shortness of breath, nausea, darkening skin, and numbness. Within a couple of years, May’s condition progresses to the point that she requires dialysis three times a week. She’s diagnosed with chronic kidney failure.
May is suffering terribly—not just from her physical pain, but from the sense that she has placed an unbearable strain on her family. She is now desperate for a solution.
A kidney transplant is possible, but only in the distant future, as the waitlist is measured in years, often two to five. It seems the torment must continue—until one day, while waiting for yet another medical appointment, she overhears a conversation between two women whispering something they keep calling
“the China option.” What May learns thereafter would completely change her outlook—in a way that saves her life, but also makes her involuntarily part of a terrible, terrible crime.
The above episode is not unfounded. In fact,
real stories like May’s have been playing out in America for years.
After spending two decades researching and covering China’s forced organ harvesting, Jan Jekielek, journalist and host of American Thought Leaders, has culminated his life’s work into his new book, “
Killed to Order,” released on March 17. It landed on the
New York Times Best Seller list:
No. 8 in hardcover nonfiction.
Read May’s full story and the overwhelming evidence in “
Killed to Order,” on a subject millions of Americans should know about, but do not.
