Organs of those killed by euthanasia being used (harvesting)
The Telegraph ^ | 14 Jun 2011 | Simon Caldwell

Posted on 06/30/2011 11:19:50 PM PDT by bronxville

Doctors are impressed by the superior condition of lungs taken from people who killed by lethal injection compared to those extracted from those killed in accidents...

Surgeons in Leuven between 2007 and 2009 successfully transplanted four pairs of lungs from people who died from euthanasia.

The authors of the study, Initial Experience with Transplantation of Lungs Recovered From Donors After Euthanasia, insisted that doctors were acting strictly within Belgian guidelines on euthanasia, which was legalised in 2002.

They reveal how ‘donors were admitted to the hospital a few hours before the planned euthanasia procedure’.

‘A central venous line was placed in a room adjacent to the operating room,’ said the report by D. Van Raemdonck et al, a team of surgeons from Leuven

‘Donors were heparinised [injected with an anticoagulant] immediately before a cocktail of drugs was given by the treating physician who agreed to perform the euthanasia.

‘The patient was announced dead on cardiorespiratory criteria by three independent physicians as required by Belgian legislation for every organ donor.

‘The deceased was then rapidly transferred, installed on the operating table, and intubated.’...

The paper showed that about 23.5 per cent of lung transplant donors in Belgium and 2.8 per cent of heart transplant donors are killed by euthanasia...

Dr Peter Saunders, of Care Not Killing, an umbrella group of more than 50 British medical, disability and religious charities opposed to euthanasia, said he was shocked by the report...

The report comes just a year after researchers found a high proportion of deaths classified as euthanasia in Belgium have involved patients who have not requested their lives to be ended by a doctor.

Belgium became the second in the world after the Netherlands to legalise euthanasia since the fall of Nazi Germany....

"‘I was amazed at how nonchalantly the issue was dealt with as if killing patients and then harvesting their organs was the most natural thing in the world,’ he said."

"‘The matter of fact way the retrieval process is described in the paper is particularly chilling and shows the degree of collaboration that is necessary between the euthanasia team and the transplant surgeons – prep them for theatre next to the operating room, then kill them and wheel them in for organ retrieval. All in a day’s work in Brave New Belgium.’"

"A fifth of nurses interviewed by researchers from the Canadian Medical Association Journal admitted that they had been involved in the euthanasia of a patient – but also found that nearly half of these – 120 of 248 – admitted to participating in ‘terminations without request or consent’."

"He added: ‘Doctors there now do things that those in most doctors in other countries would find absolutely horrific.’"

‘Given that half of all euthanasia cases in Belgium are involuntary it must be only a matter of time before the organs are taken from patients who are euthanised without their consent."

"Euthanasia now accounts for two per cent of all deaths in the country."

Logan’s Run brought to life the idea that living 30 years was plenty. After that your little Lifeclock embedded on the palm of your hand would change color and you would go take your final ride of death on the Carousel.

Today designer Julijonas Urbonas has created something very similar, the “euthanasia coaster” and he describes it as an elegant and euphoric way to take the life of a human being. The very ‘Humane’ death coaster will drop you and spin you until your brain loses oxygen,”a legal indicator of death in many jurisdictions.”

The ride lifts you half a kilometer to the top, there you can decide when to push the ‘FALL button’ and then its vision loss, confusion, and then your dead body will loop a few more times to ensure that this was indeed your final ride.

Urbonas speculates about the future use of his euthanasia machine and he thinks it can be used either for overpopulation, or “if your life becomes too long.” Although its unclear whether he sees this “too long”scenario as a voluntary coaster ride or more of a mandatory one.

I am not to upto date on lung transplantation, but do they need to be inflated and perfused with O2 to be harvested?

They intubated the recently disceased immediately - he/she was hooked up to a ventilator which keeps all the organs oxygenated.

This article just made me sick to my stomach. I can’t believe that I’ve lived to see such a world.

The “right to die” becomes the “obligaton to die”. And selling organs becomes big business. Just like the Chinese.

How can a deceased body oxygenate?

Anybody want to guess how long it will be before they move on from the "superior quality of the lungs harvested" to the "superior quality of the meat?"

But without a heart beat their would be no perfusion of oxygen to the organs. Also at least in the short term, if the brain is well supplied with oxygen a person is technically alive.

Neither Good or Evil seem to have any boundaries. That is insane. It looked like his concept was part of a exposition of scientific ideas. The very fact he was allowed to present this idea shows we are at the end of the age.

‘The deceased was then rapidly transferred, installed on the operating table, and intubated.’”

They heparinize the person being euthanized which thins the blood then as soon as s/he’s dead they intubate and place him on a ventilator which infuses O2. They operate immediately as the cadaver is directly across from the OR.

They have it well planned and it appears to be working according to their stats.

It’s very depressing to say the least and soon we’ll be in the hands of people like this because they now own our bodies due to obamacare.

You teabaggers just don't understand that this otherwise useless carcass can be used to extend the life of one of the Inner Party. Think of how thrilled the prole was to be able to add to the well being of the Progressive Nobility.

His name will live forever in the Memory Hole...

(/s) I wish it was. But this is how they FEEL

These are the same Thinkers who put Planned Parenthood offices in the Ghetto, release minks and sables to starve, Believe the Revealed Truth of Climate Change, convince themselves that the "illegal" in illegal alien is meaningless and that the malignant idiot in the WH is the World's Smartest Man.

We're hosed.

Happy with early results, the Belgian doctors plan on attending Organ Harvest Con 2012, being held in Beijing. The Chinese, long known as the world leaders in fresh organ harvesting, are looking to keynote with a presentation on their latest approach, vivisection. Or as any sushi chef knows, you can't get any fresher than "while it's still alive!"

See post 15. It’s forced oxygenation via intubation and a ventilator. They’ve already heparinized the individual prior to euthanasia.

One wonders if they get permission for their organs to be harvested prior to being euthanized?
