He’s Truly and Sincerely dead............
I bet this happens more than you would think. I wonder Doctors in ERs earn commissions on organs obtained?
They are hurrying the process up. Why take the time to starve someone to death when you can just call them brain dead and get the goodies quicker?
What a sick society we have become!
No You're Brain Dead.
So Lay Down - We Want Your Organs!
“Time to reinstate the Hippocratic Oath....”
This died with the advent of the AMA and the FDA - both have become evil tools of the Drug Cartels. This is not to say that individuals, doctors, nurses etc in the medical community are evil or corrupt - many truly care about the patients they treat, and are in the business to help people be well. I do not believe that the Drug Cartel, the AMA or the FDA care about any of us or our health - they are after the money to be milked through the system into their gruby, greedy, dirty hands and pockets.
I'm glad they saved him! [smirk]
Methinks there is a bit of confusion regarding terminal and brain dead. Brain dead is a distinct medical condition, but there are numerous other variables that can lead to a terminal prognosis for organ transplant reasons.
They tried and failed to convince the family that he was hours, days from death with no possibility of recovery, and the tighty righties are now seizing the moment to create another Shiavo for their hyperbolic BS.
Carry on! My analysis is complete.
YES, Doctors, hospitals, et al DO compromise care in order to harvest the high profit organs.
They decide, “patient will die anyways” so presto you are dead.
consider the slur of “donor cycle” for motorcycle accidents. They have a predisposition to sacrifice care in order to harvest organs right off the bat.
What should we expect from a society that kills unborn babies for their stem cells.
This is why the donor box on my drivers license is unchecked !
Personally, if my condition was such that it was hard to tell whether or not I was really brain-dead, and I had a brain hemorrhage that made meaningful survival impossible (i.e. survival with awareness and with at least some ability to communicate), I’d a lot rather be finished off 11 days early and save the lives of many other people (along with providing restored vision to yet another person), than to be kept “alive” via various tubes and machines for 11 more days while losing the possibility of saving all those other people. Many years of several other people’s relatively healthy lives are worth more than 11 days of my life in a vegetative or semi-vegetative state with no realistic hope of improvement. In a free country, people ought to be free to make that choice via an advance medical directive.
The hospital is an institution of the state and is grouped in the dept of justice. The state has the power, not only of declaring death, but of setting the groundrules. The doctors are agents of the state. Oddly, the state also has the power to declare life, and that is also a legal decision that anybody feels free to disagree with but has no power in the matter.
I’ll still donate when the time comes, even though friends claim I’m brain dead now. Travelin’ dudes like me need to be out and about in death as well as life.
This is why I refuse to be a donor. I want all decisions made about treating me to be based on my condition, not the viability of my organs for somebody else to take from me before I’m finished with them.
Vultures, I like that description. Not unusual, as those that go into medicine these days are often as ruthless as lawyers in the pursuit of riches.
The left is a culture of death, and wants to get rid of people who they deem useless. The left is very happy with this sort of thing, and they work relentlessly to get laws that allow them to unload “useless” people.
But I thought this never happened?!!!/sarcasm.
I hate it when they harvest my organs and I’m not brain dead.
I was advised several years ago by a buddy who it an EMS to not sign any donor cards. The time they try to resusitate someone who signed is half that on a non-donor.
