A pro-life group (the name escapes me) has some literature making the case that organs must be harvested from a living person. Once a person is declared “brain dead” the organs can then be harvested while the rest of the body is still alive, giving the hospital valuable organs.

Doesn’t sound pro-life to me.

I'm sorry but any group advocating what you say they are advocating is not a "pro-life" group.

You're basically correct, the term "brain death" was originated by organ harvesters as an excuse to be able to take organs from a living person. It's really nothing more than an excuse to kill the living.

“making the case that organs must be harvested from a living person...”
Yes, I think this is correct. Within minutes the heart stops beating, the body’s cell release their digestive enzymes and start breaking themselves down, and I don’t think that process can be reversed once it has started.
