ISIS sanctions organ harvesting: report
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has decided to sanction the harvesting of human organs, Reuters reported Friday.
The terror group’s ruling, which was made in January, is giving rise to fears that they could be trafficking in human organs.
{mosads}U.S. officials found the ruling amid a trove of information unearthed during a May raid in Syria, Reuters said.
“The apostate’s life and organs don’t have to be respected and may be taken with impunity,” the document from ISIS’ Research and Fatwa Committee says.
“Organs that end the captive’s life if removed: The removal of that type is also not prohibited.”
Though the document only allows for taking organs from a living captive to save a Muslim’s life, Iraqi officials have accused ISIS of trafficking in body parts for profit.
