State Organs Screening in Perth, "Silence is Complicit" #stateorgans

The doctor across from me asked me to remove the eyeball. When I looked at him, I saw his eyes full of fear. It was quite emotional and draining when you see how evil humanity can be. As a registered nurse, this is something that really disturbs me. His eyes are still moving. He's alive. Evil in the world is real. Wherever it happens, whichever country it is, we need to stand against it. There's an old saying that the standard we walk past is the standard we accept. Silence is complicit in speaking out for truth. I think that applies no matter what your core belief is, whether you're a Christian or a Falun Gong or an atheist. You must speak up for truth. Everyone has a conscience and we can either ignore it or we can listen to it. So disseminating that information, getting it out there to people, you can change one heart at a time. There is an obligation to expose it, to bring it to attention. I just really hope that something can be done to progress that or that your group can lobby whoever the people are that can actually move that a bit or get it put into legislation. They could enact or present to Parliament the legislation that they've accepted in principle about prohibiting complicity in transporter abuse abroad. They could require reporting of transplant tourism so we'd know the volumes and help in the enforcement of the law once it's enacted. They could prevent the health insurance from funding both transplant tourism and the aftercare. They could put in immigration bans to prevent people complicit in forced organ harvesting from coming to Australia. They can impose sanctions on Chinese leaders that are instrumental in the forced organ harvesting practice. They can impose a systematic ban on training, on exchanges, on conferences, which is somehow helping Chinese transplant surgeons or nurses get involved or continue the abuses. There's the body exhibits where the bodies are coming, in many cases, from the same places as the bodies of organs for transplants. They can have legislation that deals with that. There's a panorama of different legal remedies they can impose to provide prevention and remedy for these abuses. I would say they should do all of them, but at least they should do some of them. At least they should do one of them. This very trip, I was making a presentation, accepted as a poster presentation to the Brisbane Nurses Association. They then invited me to speak, an invited speaker. Then they disinvited me, saying they didn't want the other poster presenters to be treated differently. Then they said they wanted to see my poster in advance to see if it met institutional guidelines. I asked them what the institutional guidelines were. They didn't answer. I then did a poster, a kind of replica of my abstract, which had already been accepted. They said, yes, I could post it, but in my poster presentation time, when I had ten minutes slot during lunch hour, I couldn't bring anyone with me. I couldn't distribute any materials. I could only ask questions, and I shouldn't engage in political grandstanding. I then asked the other poster presenters if they were treated in the same way I was for this whole sequence. They said, no, none of them were treated the same. The original excuse that they withdrew the speaker invitation from me to be treated like the other poster presenters was false. There was obviously something else going on, but they didn't tell me what. We must never give up and realize that all of humanity is the same. We all have the same blood, and we all need to speak up where we see injustice occurring.
