In 2006 Matas and Kilgour started to investigate allegations that Falun Gong practitioners in China were systematically being killed for their organs. Their organs were then sold for a high price to transplant patients.
麥塔斯和喬高在2006年開始調查，中國法輪功學員因他們的器官被計劃性地殺害指控。之後，他們的器官被高價賣給移植患者。
The allegations pointed to a new aspect of the Chinese regime’s campaign to eradicate the Falun Gong spiritual practice that it started in 1999.

In Taiwan Kilgour urged health authorities to alert those who may be considering traveling to China for organ transplants.
喬高敦促台灣衛生當局，要警告那些可能考慮前往中國，進行器官移植的人。
[David Kilgour, Former Canadian MP]:
“Could you at least recommend to your Minister that he put up on your Foreign Affairs website that if patients go from Taiwan to China, there’s a very good chance they could be getting a kidney or a liver of a Falun Gong practitioner who’s been convicted of no offence, and simply working as forced labor in a labor camp.”
前加拿大國會議員大衛喬高說：
「您能否至少建議您們的部長，在外交部的網站上放置：如果從台灣到中國的患者，很有可能得到一個腎臟或肝臟，是來自沒有犯法、只是在勞教所被強迫勞動的法輪功學員。」
Matas and Kilgour have been invited to speak at various universities throughout Taiwan during their third trip to the island. In 2010, they were both nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their investigation into forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners.
