"Is it not reasonable to consider that the donor may feel pain? In some cases, drugs to paralyze muscle contraction are given to prevent the donor from moving during removal of the organs. Yet, sometimes no anesthesia is administered to the donor. Movement by the donor is distressing to doctors and nurses. Perhaps this is another reason why anesthesia and drugs to paralyze the muscles are usually given." This is simply ghoulish.

I will neither seek nor donate organs.
When my body’s had enough, so be it.

FYI, there’s a scary movie with “The French Connection” actor playing a physician who advances medicine by using the parts of homeless guys.

Read “Culture of Death” by Wesley Smith. I read it for a Medical ethics class a few years ago. It dealt with this issue. It’s horrifying.

Such is the transplant biz.

Wesley Smith is one of my favorites and he is exactly right though I wish he wasn’t because we are truly on a slippery slope.
Here’s his blog with a lot of archives:

"LSN has reported several recent cases in which patients deemed 'brain dead' resuscitated only moments before their organs were to be removed." I'm afraid I will no longer be participating in the donor program.
... Creep-o-Rama!

Either don’t volunteer to donate your organs or stay awake while you’re in the hospital. Shades of “COMA”.

This is the very reason I do not put “donor” on my DL.
Nor my SweetBaby, nor our children.
And anyone else I can convince.
God bless America!!!

I used to be listed as an organ donor. After seeing the abuse that has surfaced on this sort of thing, and how big $$$ can get one moved to the
head of the line, I had myself removed. It may not make a bit of difference, as there are rumors that some organs are taken even if the victim has not requested to be a donor. Too much money in it to worry about ethics...
