Wesley J. Smith to Participate in Heritage Foundation Discussion of China’s Organ Harvesting

On April 7, 2026, the Heritage Foundation will host a discussion among experts on the Chinese Communist Party’s practice of forced organ harvesting on its citizens.

Wesley J. Smith, Chair and Senior Fellow of the Center on Human Exceptionalism and host of the Humanize podcast, will be among the list of panelists. Also presenting will be long-time Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Jay Richards. Other panelists include Representative Chris Smith (R–NJ), Jan Jekielek (Senior Editor of The Epoch Times, host of “American Thought Leaders”), Ethan Gutmann, and Bob Moffit.

From The Heritage Foundation event description:

They will examine reports of forced organ harvesting associated with the CCP, explore the broader human rights implications, and review current legislative initiatives in the U.S. aimed at strengthening protections against such abuses and advancing human rights globally.

Wesley J. Smith has long covered human rights abuses in China. Most recently, he interviewed Jan Jekielek on Humanize about Jekielek’s new book, Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary. You can listen to that episode here.

The event will be held on Tuesday, April 7, at 10:30 am EST. You can attend virtually or request an invitation to attend in person.
