Dying or dead?
The thought of someone ripping my eyes/liver/kidney/heart&lungs out of my body while I am still alive - prevents me from becoming an organ donor. But that’s just me.
OTOH If my time is up - I shall go reluctantly, but I hope with grace.
what if you’re declared brain dead by a handful of doctors?
You fulfill the diagnosis and they are going to turn off the ventilator anyway because death has officially been declared and at that point even the family cannot keep a brain-dead person on a ventilator?
Would you rather your heart stop beating permanently? Or would you rather it continue beating for someone else?
I apologize for my angry outburst. I was really ticked off when I read it and having had a bad week sphysically, I lost my cool. Please forgive me for that.
I think these articles are gross exaggerations of the truth. I trust my transplant center folks and I can’t see any of them doing this. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I doubt that it does.
