Absolutely. The risk of cutting out organs from a living person is just too unacceptable.
” No ‘moral certainty’ that brain death is really death “
This is certainly true in any number of Democrat precincts....
It has been my fear for some time that Brugger is correct.
A nuclear scan showing lack of blood flow to the brain is good enough for me. There is never any hope of recovery.
Most of the people declared brain dead after a traumatic event wouldn't live very long anyway (although some would and might even recover) but regardless of this, their organs would no longer be useful. That's why they are being hastened on their way.
You mean that the heart is stopped?
Just look at Nancy Pelosi. She suffered brain death about 40 years ago and is clearly still alive.
January 6, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, a Brazilian neuroscientist who was appointed yesterday to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, is an open defender of the pro-abortion and homosexualist ideology of Brazil’s new president,… ...
When I worked, we talked to the non responsive believing that they had the ability to process incoming information.. there have been stories of them reviving later and recounting the family talking about their death..
My family know..no organ donation at all from me.. for just this reason
Liberals are against the death penalty because they do not trust that the state governments have sufficient controls over the process to insure that an innocent person is not killed.

Perfectly stated!
I remember an experiment conducted in the 1970s in which EEG readings indicated brain life, from a bowl of lime Jello.
Wits remarked at the time that, “while this proves that lime Jello is alive, there is yet no consensus that life exists in other flavors or brands of gelatin, nor proof that life can exist outside of a bowl.”
The real question is support by totally artificial means life?
Or if they do, they should talk about it in another room! ;-)
Yes but that person wasn’t brain dead.
There has never, ever been a case a someone who’s been declared brain dead according to the American Academy of Neurology’s criteria coming back. That means having a flat EEG, waiting 24 hours, having a still flat EEG, and a negative cerebral blood flow scan.
By then of course your brain has already started to rot a bit but no harm in making sure.
