Civilization has markers. . .Canada has just given one up. . .

DISCUSSION ABOUT:
Controversial Organ Donation Method Begins in Canada - Organs Extracted 5 Minutes after Heart Stops
If the Culture of Death is allowed to continue, we will see the day when harvesting organs is the actual cause of death.

I really do not see why... Not being a Catholic, I frankly couldn't care less about what the RCC says about this or any other subject... And I will gladly put an addendum in my living will to use this procedure if I am on a ventilator to harvest my organs...
It happens already, every chance the human chop shops get. Ever since the Death Cult (meeting in committee at Harvard in the late 1960s) defined some comatose conditions as "brain death," living patients have been carved up for their organs. It is a huge advantage for the carvers to retrieve organs as the heart still beats, so that the organs don't spoil. That was the whole point of redefining death -- to get organs for transplantation. Under the old definition of death, known and agreed by everyone everywhere, all body systems stop. Then you can't take the organs because they too die and begin to putrefy.
Personally I think any one who keeps someone on a ventilator to keep them alive when it has been shown that the other organs will die with out the ventilator is somewhat an unethical person. Personally I hope I don't end up like this.
Every man has his appointed time to die, and delaying it isn't going to make any difference to what God has ordain for those on earth, or for when the individual makes it to the Judgement seat of God. God at the beginning of time has already determine every mans fate. Man has got to learn to face his fate at the end of his life, and take it like a man.
So you think that if a child falls into a swimming pool and their heart stops for 5 minutes that the paramedics should start butchering them for organs rather than trying to restart the heart?!
I have very specific medical directives for what is to happen with me and exactly who is allowed to make decisions and under what conditions.
On a humorous side, Any body with a heart and lungs that would fail when the plug is pulled probably doesn't have any organs worth scavengening. The rest of the organs are probably wore out to.
Even though that box may be checked off, the heir still has to sign a consent for the harvest. Hospitals really C their A on this matter. The notion of a K-Mart for parts is farfetched.
Again, you are extrapolating ... But I will say that if it is determined that the child has no hope of recovery by doctors (and this isn't paramedic) and this child will be on a ventilator, I for one will give permission to harvest the organs...
I must say for an institution responsible for millions of death, the RCC and its minions put their nose were it isn't wanted...
Thank you, T'wit.
I've been trying to educate folks on this fact for 10 years now.
Organs from dead people are useless. They need organs from people who have been decalred dead through word craft, not through physical fact.

Well, since you don't come into this with any obvious bias or agenda...
Lots of money in that racket. Doctors are under a lot of pressure to procure organs for donation, and there have been a lot of cases of "not dead yet". Which is why I no longer sign as a donor.
