And this is why I will never mark my drivers license as being an organ donor. No way am I going to provide an incentive for these ghouls to prematurely end my life.

Cheaper to kill the kid and take his organs for others than to attempt to preserve his life.

That is what we can look forward to if Obama “Care” is allowed to remain the law of the land.

This what the headline meant to say:

Dad rescues son from ‘brain dead’ doctors wishing to harvest his organs – boy recovers completely

[Navy Patriot]

There is big money in acquiring organs for transplant, eliminate that, and you will eliminate much of the problem.

Eliminate special treatment for the connected and that will fix the rest.

This is why you NEVER sign an organ donor card!

Speaking as a nurse, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Years ago my dad suffered a massive heart attack and was taken to one of New York Cities awful "city" hospitals where we were advised to say our goodbyes to him since he was not expected to live through the night.

He lay in the waiting room for hours without being even looked at by a doctor or nurse. Finally he regained consciousness and after being told how long he had been there-got up and left the hospital and went home. At that time he was in his early 50's and in spite of this incident lived to be 81 years old when he died in his sleep.

All you need to know about organ donation is that they can only harvest organs from living persons. If the person is dead, the organs are useless. Doesn’t take much to figure out what this “brain dead” business is about, once you know that fact.

Today, the 21-year-old with “brain damage” is studying accounting at a local university.

Please no Monty Python references.

Make a Living Will, folks. File a copy with every next-of-kin and your nearest hospitals. Also designate a Medical Power of Attorney, especially if your next-of-kin lives out of state.

Make your intentions clear not to be denied hydration or treated like Terri Schindler or the folks in the article above in case of an accident.

[JSteff]

Under obama care he would not have even gotten the chance to live.
Obama care would only have paid for what the ER doctors recommended... death to harvest organs.
However a nurse I know with advanced degrees said it is regular practice now for ER doctors to recommend that to a patients family/representatives for this kids condition.
