In New Mexico, a woman was subjected to days of preparation for donation, even after her family said that she seemed to be regaining consciousness, which she eventually did. In Florida, a man cried and bit on his breathing tube but was still withdrawn from life support. In West Virginia, doctors were appalled when coordinators asked a paralyzed man coming off sedatives in an operating room for consent to remove his organs.
Stories like these have emerged as the transplant system has increasingly turned to a type of organ removal called donation after circulatory death. It accounted for a third of all donations last year: about 20,000 organs, triple the number from five years earlier.
Most donated organs in the United States come from people who are brain-dead — an irreversible state — and are kept on machines only to maintain their organs.
Circulatory death donation is different. These patients are on life support, often in a coma. Their prognoses are more of a medical judgment call.
They are alive, with some brain activity, but doctors have determined that they are near death and won’t recover. If relatives agree to donation, doctors withdraw life support and wait for the patient’s heart to stop. This has to happen within an hour or two for the organs to be considered viable. After the person is declared dead, surgeons go in.
This one’s a bit brutal for morning coffee. You might want to wait a few hours to read it.
Dr. Heidi Klessig: The body you give away for free is worth around $5 million in billable charges.
A fair number of doctors and surgeons are sociopaths with fairly loose consepts of ethical behavior. They like money and prestige. Transplant surgeons are paid well and get loads of prestige. More transplants equals more money and more prestige.
There is a solution – contact china for the details.
Or Canada, for those patients who are suffering from any number of non-fatal conditions that the Ghouls of MAID are pushing to be offed.
$$$$$$$$$$$ involved?
No surprise there……….
And to just make sure the “donor” is dead, as soon as the heart stops, they surgically clamp off the blood supply to the brain, before restarting the heart to keep the organs ready for removal and transplant.
Yeah, maybe don’t sign that donor card. Make them work for it, at least.
And maybe have somebody to stand over you while you’re in the hospital, and watch them. So far they are cowardly, they only do this stuff by dead of night.
So far.
About 15 years ago on a cross country flight to NYC … I had a young seatmate who was returning to college. I asked him what he was studying, and he told me he was in Medical School. I asked if he had an area of Specialty he was focused on, and he gave me the completely unexpected answer: Medical Ethics.
He essentially said that the profession’s ethical standards were lagging behind our technological advancement, and that policy needs to catch up. Apparently… it hasn’t.
Involuntary organ donation isn’t just a ChiCom industry anymore.
You can extort a lot of money out of a rich guy who needs a liver. Because when you need one, you -need- one.
Couple million bucks is not out of the question. That’s a pretty good payday for somebody. They’ll be looking to cut some corners.
Medical Ethics seems to have lost its way a long time ago
Currently, only Nova Scotia has “Opt Out” organ donation. Look for that to change. They’ll streamline the process through legislation which will make all provinces “Opt Out.” It was an oversight or an after the fact realization. And, even with that oversight, Canada leads the world in organ donation resulting from Euthanasia.
Take the UK, for example. They changed the entire country to “Opt Out” status without any input, whatsoever, from the citizens. No votes. No notifications. They just did it. At the time, it was not very important. BUT, UK has just passed Doctor Assisted Suicide. Now, the “Opt Out” installation takes on much more importance and Canada is going to get some competition for the top spot in providing organ donation through Euthanasia.
To keep up with demand, Health Canada will euthanise 15 million over the next 20 years.

Zero chance this doesn’t happen here but in an even more disgusting manner. What do you think maid is all about? That depressed 15 year old could save countless lives!
