Many ethicists have warned that the adoption of the new criterion would end by doctors killing patients by removal of vital organs. If the Culture of Death has its way, they will soon expand the criteria of when they can start harvesting a person's organs.

***Currently Canada relies upon the “brain death” criterion to retrieve organs from patients***
Al Gore better stay out of Canada . He has been brain dead foe years , a trip to Canada could leave him an empty hulk.

I bet quite a number of Liberal Party MP's would meet the criteria.

I read an interview with Malcom Muggeridge and he was talking about organ donation. Since the best way to get an organ for transplant is to take it from a live body, and for some cases the only way, it begs the question if you are killing one to save another.
Went through this when a friend died, and they harvested his organs before the heart stopped. Rethought a lot of things about organ donation.

Patients are already considereed potential donors before their deaths.

You are right. Up to the point of creating bodies with useful organs.

>> a change in the rules defining death for purposes of organ donations could place patients in danger and ICU doctors in a conflict of interest.
I guess we're ahead of our times for warning of the very same thing right here in the Terri Schiavo and pro-life threads. It isn't really fortune-telling, of course. The human chop shops are already functioning. We don't have to look deeply to see that money is a strong motive for carving people up for their organs. LOTS of money.

Is this tied to patient's wishes that there be no attempts to resuscitate after a heart stoppage. If it is, this is not a problem. If it isn't, BIIIIIIIG problem.
