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?

“””Or would you rather it continue beating for someone else?”””

It’s not a very good heart!
