I’m surprised they allowed him to live, kinda makes a person wonder just what kind of deals are made behind closed doors about “harvesting” and influential if not financially superior patients awaiting somewhere else.

whaddy bet if there’s any revisions to official policy it will be to speed up organ harvesting so this won’t happen again.

That is why I would NEVER donate my organs.. they often cut off treatment and life support to get them when there is still a spark of life

This is exactly why I tell my kids to opt out of ogran donation, even if I do it.

An organ from a 50 something year old fart isn't going to be worth the same as an organ from a 20 something year old. They are going to make damn sure I'm through with it before they harvest it.

A young person? Maybe not so much.

I'm guessing he was merely dead.
 
 
But not sincerely dead.

This is terrible.

Just think of how much money the transplant industry lost!

Money is all the government/corporate medical complex is about.

Snip: “Nobody could ever give me a better Christmas present than this — ever, ever, ever,” his mother, Susan Regan, told ABC News. “I tell everyone, if they want to call it a modern-day miracle, this is a miracle.

A miracle indeed.
