My boss, a black woman, who is a fine Christian, refuses to give an organ because there have been too many cases of blacks on life support being killed to get them. Whether that’s really true or not, I have no idea, but it IS a prevailing feeling.
that’s too bad she feels that way.
certainly there has to be a legal way for people to ensure they don’t become donors unless they are declared dead.
In NY 3 doctors have to concur and the patient has to fulfill a checklist of requirements to ensure they fulfill the diagnosis.
My daughter was not declared right away because she did not fully meet the criteria right away. After 6 days she did.
No one came to us about donation - we were the ones that sought out the foundation.
Our experience was nothing like what the articles posted here portray.
Tell your boss that a little 2 yr. old black girl’s life was saved, and that her mother decided to become an organ donor herself if the occasion ever arises.
