I'm confused. What is the issue?

They're talking about taking organs from people "whose hearts have stopped." Does anybody think that when your heart has stopped, you're actually alive?

It's possible to be recesitated (sp) after heart failure.

This issue has nothing to do with "helping people" and everything to do with advancing an agenda that cheapens human life.

In many cases, your heart will stop because they disconnected you from the ventilator. Many people need a ventilator for a period of time, but then recover and are released from the hospital.

But, if you happen to have an "in demand" blood type, it wouldn't be too hard to stop your ventilator, which stops your heart, which allows them to harvest your organs for someone they deem "more worthy" of life than you.
