Bill 118 s 4914, also known as the "Forced Organ Harvesting Sanctions Act," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of imposing sanctions on individuals and entities involved in forced organ harvesting in China. The bill specifically targets the People's Republic of China, where there have been reports of widespread human rights abuses, including the forced removal of organs from prisoners of conscience.

The Forced Organ Harvesting Sanctions Act is a bipartisan effort to hold those responsible for these egregious violations of human rights accountable. It seeks to send a strong message that the United States will not tolerate such abuses and will take action to prevent them from continuing.
