yep, they purposely misuse the word “organ”. Organ donor means your entire body. I was always suspicious of the rush to declare someone dead for the organs. I NEVER put it on my license. I was right to be suspicious. The things my family and esp. MYSELF for being a whistleblower had to go through. These people are sick. They hide behind the true goodness that can come from INFORMED DONATION and use the “OPRAH FEEL GOOD” to cover up. I was going to do a live kidney donation (I was researching it to help someone (anyone)) and then I read that you have to go through the ghouls that run the sick bunch that I came across. No way in hell unless I deal with an upfront, honest, non-cruel, other State Designated “Organ Procurement” organization. I have a long, horrid story about what happened. I did do good to stop it (or try) but it’s still going on. And those that try to stop it, get threatened by lawsuits. If these people actually ran a business, especially one that has to do what they do, in a time of family sorrow, they wouldn’t have run it the way they did. TOTALLY UP FRONT AND HONEST SHOULD BE THEIR ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND MISSION, instead liars and thugs hiding behind what good is done. Like I said, I have told my kids, and they were old enough unfortunately to experience (see) what happened and they know that NOT ONE PIECE of me goes through that organization. Period.
This young man was hours away from being taken off life support, sans one doctor who had seen/felt something. (intution?)

Brain Death is NOT settled science. Esp. drug overdose patients need at least 24 hours if not a few days more. They can actually come out of brain swelling from drugs unscathed.
