Every transplanted organ comes from a living person... you cannot get organs from a cadaver. Whose organs do they want? Certainly, all children's and those between the ages of 16 - 36. If you're unconscious and on a ventilator, know that your organs are highly sought after. They now harvest more organs from over-doses than they do for accidents and gun shot wounds.
Thanks for posting. I think Deanna Spingola had this guy as a guest on her show. Seems like we're living in a matrix of lies, scams, frauds and hoaxes.
Thanks Amanda... the guy definitely has a lot of knowledge, particularly, i note, in the area of words and word meanings. He understands the semantics applied in their terminology... as with everything else in this realm, it's spell-crafting. This is the primary reason i am an anti-semantic... lol... pun intended.
This is a great, in depth yet scathing article found on a dot gov site, no less:
The new definition of death as “brain death” makes it possible to declare people dead while they are still breathing and to bypass the dying process in order to quarry spare parts for the living from the dying. Death no longer comes at the end of the dying process, but—by the fiat of a Harvard commission—at its beginning. (Spaemann 2006, 299)
In other words, even a noble act such as organ donation can be manipulated to serve utilitarian, materialistic, and dehumanizing motives, whereby the most vulnerable members of society are conveniently excluded from the human moral community (Veatch 2004, 267–8).42 As mentioned in the introduction, pragmatic-utilitarian motives were evident in the workings of the Harvard Committee to bring about the birth of “brain death.” Such motives have remained well hidden behind both the veil “of the powerful metaphor of the ‘gift of life’ associated with the transplant world” (Lock 2002, 114), and the loud appeal to altruism and noble charity. With respect to brain-dead donors, however, we must ask ourselves, “Is such a vigorous appeal to altruism and charity grounded in truth?”
The citations are as interesting as the article itself... The term “brain death” in this paper refers to the notion of “whole brain death.” The term “brain death” is also put in quotation marks because of its semantic ambiguity; see Shewmon (1989). It is so ingrained in the literature, however, that it is used in this paper as a stand-in for the longer, but more precise phrase “brain-based criteria for the determination of death.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102188/
Of course you can't harvest organs from a dead anything - it's just offal then. It is true that "brain-dead" was an invention that would allowed for organ harvesting, but I doubt that would matter these days, people these days are generally OK with organ transplants and understand that "brain-dead" means if you turn off the life-support machines then death happens.
As always the question is what's happening in the shadows - because did 5 people and their families really want their hearts going to Dick Cheney or Rockefeller??
