Writer and investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann alleges that Chinese dissidents are routinely rounded up and executed so that doctors can harvest their organs for transplantation.

Gutmann joins Here & Now’s Peter O’Dowd to discuss the findings in his book, “The Slaughter: Mass Killings, Organ Harvesting, and China’s Secret Solution to Its Dissident Problem.”
