Should surgeons be allowed to perform euthanasia by removing patients' hearts and other organs while they're still alive?
The idea, dubbed "Death by Organ Donation," would enable euthanasia patients to donate organs for transplantation in a way that would make their organs more likely to be usable. It would also kill them.

It’s not as if organs are worth lots of money and some of that money would find its way into participating surgeons’ pockets or anything.
Those Aztec guys knew how to party!
Let all of NPR give it a trial run before the end of this year.....
How very Chinese of them.
That reminds me of my heart bypass surgery.
“It’s not as if organs are worth lots of money and some of that money would find its way into participating surgeons’ pockets or anything.”
Organs are donated, not paid for. Only compensation is for the procedure.
First do no harm…
Don’t kid yourself: Euthanasia is “legal” in America if you’re not careful, and with the tacit approval (if not support) of the medical-industrial complex.
A good friend's father was hospitalized a few years ago with a heart attack and hooked up to machines. The attending doctor didn't think the old man would make it.
My friend, respecting Dad's wishes to not be on machines, signed a paper approving the de-machining and putting the Dad on "comfort care" which (IN GENERAL) is basically no curative care.
That was ok - that was the Dad's wishes.
The old man pulled through, but the hospital refused to put Dad back on fluids or nutrition because - you guessed it - "comfort care" IN THAT HOSPITAL and for THAT DOCTOR is effectively Terri Schaivo-style starvation and dehydration.
They said - and if you follow the link you’ll see concurrence from other ghouls - food and water was a medical treatment and thus "curative" and AGAINST the rules of "comfort care."
My friend was stunned. And the attending and her team wouldn't budge - ”you signed the document giving consent.”
For the next few days, my friend and siblings heard from scores of nurses etc that withholding fluids was effectively "the right thing to do"....very Terri Schaivo-like. They also threw in “Dad live a good long life” and “he will never come back the way he was.”
It took a virtual miracle whereby a different doctor intervened, said the father clearly wasn't terminal, and put the old man back on nutrition and fluids.
While my friend's Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep a few weeks later, it was on the Dad’s terms.
It’s also worth noting that the siblings were split on “comfort care.” There WAS a view that it was ok for Dad to dehydrate to death. Someone even said that dehydration is painless; I heard the total opposite during the Schaivo murder.
Euthanasia is, technically, illegal. And I know many people would be OK if fluids were withheld when it is THEIR time to go. Fair enough.
But euthanasia - or live organ harvesting - can be made legal in America if you're not careful with the Fine Print or vetting the "mercy killing" mindset of the attending. And the ghouls doctors quoted in this article are definitely of this mindset.
Can we have your liver then?
isn’t this what happens anyways? Dead organs are no good.
That story is absolutely infuriating, but not surprising.
On a related note, you should NEVER check “Yes” to the organ donation question when applying for or renewing your driver’s license.
Your family can decide to do it at the appropriate time, but you don’t want the organ harvesters making the decision.
It’s not a slippery slope if it was part of the program from day one.
Monty Python’s Take on Organ Harvesting
Overview of the Sketch
In The Meaning of Life, Monty Python presents a darkly comedic sketch titled “Live Organ Transplants.” This sketch humorously depicts hospital staff asking a man for his liver while he is still alive, highlighting the absurdity and horror of the situation. The sketch is a satirical commentary on organ donation and the medical system.
Legally you can’t sell organs in almost all of the countries in the world. Watch for that to be ended.
At that point people will be offered a digital eternity with unlimited travel, education and unlimited entertainment including sex.
From what I’ve heard, they seem to be already doing it. They’ll just declare you brain dead, and now you can be divvied up.
They’re already doing that.
Yes, but it is unacknowledged. We pretend the donor is no longer alive by declaring him brain dead. They even inject them with a drug to induce paralysis to avoid physical responses that make the surgical team uncomfortable.
