Update on [1] this story. "Egyptians move to ban Christian transplants," by Charlie Butts for [2] OneNewsNow, September 1:
The Egyptian Parliament is considering a move to ban Christians from buying transplant organs from Muslims.Indeed, according to [3] this video, some of Egypt's Christians have been forced to literally live off garbage.Michael Munier of the U.S. Copts Association says the move is strictly a matter of discrimination against Coptic Christians by a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. "The excuse they are giving is that they are trying to limit rich Christians from buying organs from poor Muslims -- as if all Christians in Egypt are rich and able to do such a thing," he chides.
Munier notes that the proposed law would not ban rich Muslims from buying organs for transplant from poor Muslims -- and he suggests the West should be concerned because the law could have fallout elsewhere.
