Critical organ donation warnings and guidance in new pamphlet: “Do not do an Apnea test!”

LifeSiteNews ^ | 4/26/12 | Steve Jalsevac

Byrne writes, “Knowing full well how critical the ventilator is, to withdraw it when it is needed most is absurd! Yet, it is planned for the patient to be taken off for up to 10 minutes - the patient can only get worse! This test is sometimes lethal. Make sure to instruct all medical staff: “Do not do an Apnea test!”

A FACT that the euthanazi organ harvesters have been trying to hide for decades.

Organ-leggers. Once more science catches up with science fiction in an unpleasant way.

At least I have the consolation of knowing nobody would want any of my organs.

[Tenacious 1]

I’m an organ donar and think this is BS.

[twister881]

Good thing you're an organ donar, and not an organ donor. Otherwise you might be in big trouble.

Do any of the links work???

[wagglebee]

I don’t know why the links at the bottom aren’t working.

They all work at the original source:

Each to his own. Some people are more interested in Western medical ethics and others live under Humanism.

If you don’t believe they are hungry for your organs and this bias can affect your survival, you are nuts.

Thanks, I was working from the bottom up. They were missing http://www.lifesitenews.com

LOL. I’m a dinar? Doner? ......whatever

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

It seems to me that harmless antibodies could be developed that in combination with an entry in their medical history would make their organs “off limits” to transplant.

That is, their records would indicate that they had a disease that disqualifies their organs for transplant, and they would have antibodies to that disease if they were tested for it.

The most likely candidate is HIV, which is commonly screened for, and most people know what it is.

When doing an apnea test (the test for sleep apnea is not an apnea test)...

Would somebody medically explain this to me? What is the difference between a sleep apnea test and an apnea test? My father-in-law is having a sleep apnea test (he snores, etc) this week. Is this dangerous to him?

[wagglebee]

The sleep apnea test is different (and VERY IMPORTANT if it's suspected).

The apnea test is to test breathing when the ventilator is removed, this causes the condition to get worse.

The sleep apnea test simply observes if the condition (when a person stops breathing in their sleep) exists, it is then treated with various devices.

I have TWO cousins who are nurses who tell me that doctors treat (high-mortality rate) cancer patients differently if they are donors - because some types of chemotherapy will make organs unusable.

[momtothree]

I thought that cancer patients couldn’t be organ donors. Usually if they die from the cancer, it has spread to other organs (and throughout the system).

[treetopsandroofs]

Here’s the apnea test, FWIW:

[The Antiyuppie]

Your organs can remain damaged/weakened long after remission, and older people can die of something else or natural causes. Generally, the principle behind chemotherapy is that cancer cells are weaker than “good” cells, so if you are poisioned (which most chemotherapy does), the cancer cells will die first. Of course, some newer and/or exotic therapies are much more targeted than this.

MALPRACTICE to get organs.
