 The documentary "Human Harvest" reveals that thousands of organs are being harvested from political prisoners in China without anesthesia, with some patients still alive when their organs are removed. This has been happening since the 1990s and is estimated to be a multi-billion dollar industry. The Chinese government has denied these allegations, but evidence suggests otherwise. A new HBO series will explore this issue further.
