More info here.

They want his organs and I am not opposed to organ donation, I carry the card.

But something smells here.

Thanks for the link you posted. It confirms what I suspected, even thought the original article doesn't mention pressure on the family to donate the child's organs.

Btw, you might want to re-think "carrying the card" for organ donation.

These cards give the unscrupulous organ donation industry a near carte-blanche to do things you or your family may NOT, if well-informed, want.

Many good people, wishing to be altruistic, are fooled into allowing their (or their loved ones') organs to be "harvested" without due consideration of the patient's true condition, or even a decent period of time to thoroughly evaluate issues surrounding the transplantation process.

For example, did you know that even "brain dead" patients experience "fear" and "pain" reactions as their organs are cut from them?

Heartbeat and blood pressure rise as the surgeon cuts into the supposedly dead organ donor, a similar reaction to a healthy person being attacked with a knife.

Some doctors recommend administering anaesthetic, prior to harvesting, to prevent pain to supposedly "brain dead" donors despite the donor officially declared dead.

Organ donors get inferior treatment than organ keepers. This happens because treatment to preserve harvestable organs increases the injuries and may even kill the patient.

This reminds me of the abortion industry's paid shills, who insist that the "fetus" feels no pain as he/she is being cut to pieces.

Some very revealing, and disturbing links about this may be found here.
