If someone is declared brain dead, and he or his family have agreed to organ donation, life support - ventilator, IV fluids, blood pressure supporting drugs - continues until the surgeons remove organs. The donor is anesthetized, not because the doctors believe he feels pain, but to eliminate physiological stress responses that could damage the organs.

Brain death is still a controversial concept to many people.

There is also donation after cardiac death, where someone does not meet brain death criteria, but the family or patient wishes to stop treatment. In this case, the ventilator is stopped, and the organs removed after the heart stops.

These are aborted babies, not people who have signed on to be an organ donor. Totally different whether or not you agree with brain death or organ donation.

One is understandable and maybe blessed by God, the other is Satanic and every single alumni of University of Pittsburg should be screaming at the top of their lungs. If not, then they are just as complicit.
