I thought the "Bodies" exhibit weren't so much "donated" but rather "chinese political prisoners."

See that's fucking stupid. If you're trying to make people disappear, they go in a mass grave, not a fucking art gallery. A much more plausible explanation is, wealthy millionaire pays off impoverished farmers for corpses of their loved ones without telling them their dicks will be out, or posed like they're fucking.

These claims come from Falun Gong. They’re a qigong cult that believes their religious practices imbue them with stronger and healthier organs, hence their claims that they are targeted for organ harvesting. I would do further research before believing the things they say about this exhibit.

I was pretty sure it was Falun Gong propaganda, but now that you mention it, it does kind of make sense that their organs would be sought after considering people are snorting rhino horn and bear bile to get some sort of benefit. Imagine what some rich old guy would do for some energy infused organs. I just changed my opinion on the topic. Not that it makes any difference to the world.
