No kidding.
They were going to butcher the woman for her eyes. Her eyes for crying out loud. Then do what to cover their crime. Let her wake up and find empty eye sockets. They were going to kill her. I would take my jail term and explain to the doctor how wrong it was.
Praise be to God!
Wow. She could easily live another 20 years! God bless her and her family!
I needed neither a scientist, not an “ethicist” to tell me that a person is either alive, or dead. And until they are dead, they are alive.
That is the reason that I have refused all the generous offers of the DMV to become an organ donor.
What's the lifespan of an organ from someone who is 76 years old?

I never check the ‘organ donor’ portion on my drivers license. I never underestimate the greed potential of many people. For this very reason. No slicing and dicing of myself for profit.
KRAMER: I didn’t know it was possible to come out of a coma.
JERRY: I didn’t know it was possible not to know that.
He was irreversibly brain dead and transferred to our nursing home when the family refused to go along with the organ donation. 6 months later he walked out of our facility to resume his life.
This is the reason that I refuse to sign any organ donor card and have specifically and in writing refused to participate in any such scheme when I have had to go to the hospital. Having an organ donor card is a powerful incentive for doctors to be premature in their diagnoses of brain death etc. Organs are ever so much more apt to be useful if taken from a still living body than from one that has already died. It is surely the Humanist thing to do. The attitude of a doctor might too well be, “well he’s probably going to die pretty soon, anyway.”
And who would want the organs from a 76 year old person?
Something does not add up here.
Some more “benefits” looming from Obama Care......
BTW, “Brain Death” was created as a legal response to improvements in “extremis care”, (i.e. life support), to answer the plaints of family wishing for some dignity for their kin. Its a process fraught with pitfalls, and conflicting requirements and obligations as I can attest. >PS
Thanks for posting. Thanks to all posters.

I have written on the back of my driver’s license, “Not an organ donor,” just in case the lack of organ donation card isn’t enough.
I don’t like the idea of organ transplants. The way I see it is that when someone gets placed onto a transplant list, they are actively hoping that someone else, who is alive and healthy right now, will die. I have a HUGE moral problem with that.
If I am that sick, that only an organ transplantation can save my life, what right do I have to fervently hope that a healthy person should die? Maybe, if my health is that bad, it is time to accept that my time is coming to its end?
“While supporting the possibility of donation, her shocked family first demanded further medical tests to prove Gauron was really dead.”
Talk about being too close for comfort.
Thank God she made it, and it’s a lesson for us all.
