To repeat the story of Zach Dunlap who was declared brain-dead and doctors were about to remove his organs for transplant. On Nov. 19 he was pronounced DEAD. When family members paid their last respects, somebody noticed he moved an arm and leg. He continues to recover and will appear or has appeared this week on "Today" show. A reminder that doctors can be wrong even when declaring somebody dead and we should err on side of life.
Yes, Zach barely made it out alive. Organ donation sounded so sweet at first but in many places, it’s morphed into something risky. It makes one wonder who was still alive needing medical care but turned into used parts instead. Organ harvesting is a close cousin to euthanasia.
He was aware, and they still called him dead.
