Adding to the links by FV, I found this about Zach Dunlap.

We have been criticized in the past for being tin-foil conspiracy nuts for suggesting the label "brain dead" may be another way of saying the doctors found some valuable parts to transplant. I am sure that was not the case here, I think. But it does make me pause.

Would the "brain dead" label have been affixed to him at the same moment if he had no usable parts?

................................

Wichita Falls, TX (AHN) - A man declared brain dead was found to still be alive four hours after, just as the family was getting ready to pay their respects and say goodbye.

The man, 21-year old Zack Dunlap, was found still alive as his cousin Dan Coffin dug a fingernail under one of Zack's own, causing Zack to pull his arm away and lay it down on the other side of his body.

The nurse, who was at the time already pulling him out of life support, agreed that the movement was not mere reflex, and alerted the doctors.

Specialists told the parents that Zack would probably have profound brain damage, preventing him from having an active and normal life. However, five days after, Zack was found with his eyes open, and eventually walked out of the center and went home.

According to NBC, Zack was pronounced dead after a head injury sustained from a November ATV accident that found him flying off his vehicle, landing headfirst and facedown on the asphalt.

Thorough examination and attempts at treatment done by medical specialists resulted in a lack of brain activity, therefore giving the parents the options of keeping Zack on life support, or pulling the plug.

"We didn't want him as a vegetable," said father Doug Dunlap. "We didn't know what he was going to be like. They said he was brain-dead and there would be no life, so we were preparing ourselves."...............

And we don’t just mean abortion — though Obama has helped keep abortion legal in all nine months of pregnancy.

In 2002, as an Illinois legislator, Obama went a step further when he voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected babies who were “accidentally” born alive during attempts to abort them.

In a recent debate, Obama said the vote he most regrets was his vote to save Terri Schiavo’s life. Her husband, Michael, wanted Terri dead, even though she was alert and responsive to nurses and family members. He had married again, had a new child with a new woman, and he wanted Terri dead. When a judge granted his request, Congress and President Bush attempted to intervene to save her life, and not just to save her life, but to stop the dangerous precedent. They failed. Now Obama says they shouldn’t have tried.

How quickly he has gone from opposing unwanted children’s right to life to opposing unwanted women’s right to life! History assures us it won’t stop there.

Obama not only opposes the right to life — he says ending it is his highest priority. “The first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act,” he told Planned Parenthood last July. That would immediately turn the United States into the most pro-abortion country in the world...................................

Another telling story in post #317.

On EWTN shortwave radio, they told about a 20-year old man who was “brain dead” so they asked the family if they could use his body parts. The family agreed, because after all, he was “brain dead.”

Then a nurse ON HER OWN took a knife and put it in the young man’s foot and he reacted.

Long story short - he had physical therapy and was home four months’ later DRIVING an automobile.

It makes me wonder why medical people don’t automatically do something like this as a matter of procedure. I wish a pro-life congressperson would make this some kind of law.
