We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'd wait until it's reported by bigger media channels with their reputation at the stake. Not only it's stupid, easily provable, heinous, inhumane, but it's also hard to carry it out, en masse and for no reason, with transplants being executed by select few clinics and less than a thousand of doctors. And having read a lot about prisons and army in USSR and modern Russia, I've seen a lot of morbid shit done to a living being, but yet to hear something about organized organ extraction from the dead. It also dawns on me that with how underfed and beaten POWs come back to Ukraine, there should've been a different camp to secure their health for their organs to be worth an operation.

Right now I mark it red but am open to rewiev that.

Who said anything about harvesting from the dead.

I'd assume dead once they are on the table knowing our sad state of medicine.

You seem to think they're letting pows die and extracting organs later? Not much point in that.

You are the second person to point that out. That's on me. No, I don't think they choose dead or dying for transplants because, yes, the conditions leading to death and degenerative processes starting right after that render organs useless.
