Unfortunately, the culture of death doesn't give a damn, they will take death any way they can get it.

Thread by me.

"Brain Death" is Life, Not Death: Neurologists and Bioethicists Unanimous at Conference

ROME, February 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - If a patient is able to process oxygen from the lungs into the bloodstream, maintain a normal body temperature, digest food and expel waste, grow to normal adult size from the age of four to twenty, and even carry a child to term, can he or she be considered dead? Can a person who is "dead" wake up and go on later to finish a university degree? Can a corpse get out of bed, go home and go fishing? Can he get married and have children?

These are among the real-life stories of patients declared "brain dead" presented by medical experts at the "Signs of Life" conference on "brain death" criteria held near the Vatican in Rome last week. Ten speakers, who are among the world's most eminent in their fields, sounded a ringing rebuke to the continued support among medical professionals and ethicists for "brain death" as an accepted criterion for organ removal. . .

President Obama Names Pro-Abortion Kathleen Sebelius Health Secretary

Washington, DC -- Strongly pro-abortion Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has accepted President Barack Obama's request to serve as the Health Secretary. Sebelius has one of the most radical pro-abortion record of any elected official and a longstanding relationship with a late-term abortion practitioner.

White House officials told the New York Times as late as February 18 that Sebelius had emerged as Obama's leading choice for the position. Then, this week, they acknowledged that her pro-abortion record could cause problems for her nomination.

Obama's decision to announce his selection on a Saturday is designed to play down news coverage of his selection of a hardcore abortion advocate to lead his health care reform efforts and to implement his pro-abortion agenda.

He will make the announcement official on Monday.

As the health secretary, Sebelius could have an impact in crafting a health care plan that could cover abortions with taxpayer funds or require insurance companies to cover abortions in their plans.

"We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."

{"Unfortunately, the culture of death doesn't give a damn, they will take death any way they can get it."

And getting it is getting easier every day.

Declaring 'brain death' is the opening of an organ farm in most cases. Transplants make tons of money for the vivisectionists.
