Summary

Forced organ harvesting in China was once a taboo topic, in both China and the United States. But now, a book about it, “Killed to Order,” has made it to The New York Times non-fiction bestsellers list. I interviewed the author Jan Jekielek, senior editor of The Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leader, about why and how the tide has turned.
