they are doing that now with "non-brain dead" donations, those with still limited brain function, that can't breath on their own.

quote from this local group "when meaningful, brain activity has ceased" what is meaningful? terry schiavo wasn't

also donation after cardiac death, "hurry as soon as their heart stops, let their brain die, resuscitate and harvest"

Donation After Cardiac Death DCD their heart has stopped, they're dead

if anyone doesn't want to take my word, and I would look it up myself anyway, check out the new criteria that they are asking for, the above plus they want only to have one person determine brain death, it is such a money driven industry that along the way helps people, but is IMMUNE to LIABILITY,
REGULATION, AND MORALITY

Maybe that is happening in some places. However, I do medical transcription for an intensive care unit and it is not happening where I work.

In any case, the author is still incorrect when he conflates brain death with vegetative state.
