Bravo. I’m a living donor for a friend that needs a kidney and I’m considering myself an altruistic donor. I’m also an organ donor on my license. I hope to be able to pay it forward with my donation and raise awareness if I’m considered a match and start a chain. You either get it or you don’t. Thank you.
God bless you, Mayor. So glad to find your video. Had just watched a few minutes of videos directing people NOT to donate for fear the hospital won’t try to save you!! I’m a liver transplant recipient of 23 years, hugging my grandbabies and growing old with my husband. ❤❤
" I am not referring an Kidney donor, or Bone Marrow, I'm talking about Brain Death, Organ Donor!" " I saw how the doctor's did my Grandson, and the Hidden Decision that is make prior ." " I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT WAS DONE!" " My Grandson was 13 years old!"
I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my daughter who was declared brain dead and was signed up to be an organ donor. At the hospital I was already aware of what they do and had my driver's license changed a couple years prior to this. While I was out of my mind crazy when the organ harvesting organization (aka vultures) showed up I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Unfortunately I was a minority of one who knew all about them and it was the loneliest feeling in the world.
My daughter had a medical emergency on a Saturday and they did brain death testing on Wednesday, however, I later found out that they had sent a referral to the organ donation facility the morning after her admission. Is that what you are referring to when you mention what was hidden?
Lol I'm a donor simply because I don't care what happens to my body when I'm dead. Might as well be useful for something. Plus: no casket/cremation expenses.
The problem is hospital staff LOOK for organ donors because all they see is viable candidates. And it’s easy to get in this mindset when doing this kind of work for years. So if you are on life support they bring up to the families the fact they are organ donors and most of the time the family doesn’t know any better and they pull the plug prematurely thinking “there is no hope” When met with brain damage. Aka being made into a vegetable . The brain is the last organ in the body to die. But this isn’t to say organ donation isn’t a good thing. I just wouldn’t have it checked on my card. Or I would write in my will/ talk to my family about what I want if vegetabalized/ comatose

Organs can only be harvested from a beating heart and breathing lungs. The donor is considered brain dead. Brain dead people have woken up and recovered just before organ harvesting was scheduled

God gave you two kidneys for a reason. You need Two for optimal performance. Doctors will say you only need one. there is a huge market for such surgeries and doctors make much money performing such surgeries. They claim that organs don't get sold but the surgeries do.

Im making sure that my kids and wife and i never become organ donor's as my father was a organ donor they said that he's brain dead makes me think that they didn't even try to save his life or didn't try hard enough to save him he died when I was 17 after that no way will i ever let my family be organ donors to protect our health and safety
Wait…he looks alert and was “cognizant” to make a drastic decision to donate his organs after the craniectomy while he is still alive? So this is assisted unaliving then.
I am considering cancelling my donor status because I just learned that rich people have a much higher chance of getting my organs. I don't want to help rich people in that way
yes you are right, so ,you could ask the hospitals/organisation involved to let you chose/meet the recipient, please don't back down, it's a noble cause
Im not donating organs either. There is hundreds of thousands of dollars to be made off these procedures, and there could be some vulture rushing to pronounce you dead so they can take your organs.
@@KarmaSwiss they can declare a person brain dead and rush to ask their familiy to sign papers, telling them there is nothing else that can be done. I don't trust these doctors, considering this is a business at the end of the dayn

Dan Drew shares his personal journey of becoming an organ donor and highlights the importance of dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation. Drew emphasizes the critical need for more organ donors and highlights the staggering statistics of patients on the waitlist and the number of lives lost due to a shortage of available organs. He also debunks some of the common myths surrounding organ donation, such as the idea that doctors won't try as hard to save your life if they know you are an organ donor or that certain religious beliefs prevent organ donation. Drew explains that every effort is made to save the life of the donor and that all major religions actually support the act of organ donation as a form of giving and charity. Drew also touches on the need for increased education and awareness around organ donation, particularly in marginalized communities where there may be cultural or historical barriers to organ donation. He encourages individuals to have open conversations with their loved ones about their decision to become an organ donor and stresses the importance of registering to become an organ donor. In reflecting on Drew's talk, it's clear that organ donation is a critical and life-saving process that requires increased education and awareness. By dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation, we can help to increase the number of available organs and save countless lives. It's important for individuals to educate themselves on the organ donation process, have open conversations with their loved ones about their wishes, and register to become an organ donor to ensure that their legacy can continue on through the gift of life. His talk highlights the importance of having open and honest conversations about donation and dispelling myths and misconceptions around the topic. He stresses the need for individuals to make informed decisions about organ donation and communicate their wishes with their loved ones. Building off Drew's points, it's important to recognize that there are also systemic issues in the organ donation process that need to be addressed. For example, there are disparities in access to organ transplantation based on factors such as race and socioeconomic status. Additionally, there are concerns about the transparency and fairness of organ allocation systems. To address these issues, it's essential to not only increase awareness and education about organ donation but also to work towards creating more equitable and just systems for organ allocation. This may involve implementing policies to address disparities in access or improving transparency and accountability in the allocation process. Ultimately, the goal should be to ensure that all individuals who are in need of an organ transplant have equal access to this life-saving treatment, regardless of their background or circumstances. By working towards greater education, awareness, and systemic change, we can help to make organ donation and transplantation a more equitable and just process for all.
so many reasons I am not an organ donor. I encourage everyone to do a little research on how flimsy and unreliable a diagnosis of brain death is and how financially beneficial organ donation is to doctors and the medical establishment.
This is 100% the truth. I would never donate. In my city a family donated the organs of a family member who got an infection after a minor surgery which caused brain swelling so they "weren't sure he would be the same person they knew". They never said he was brain dead, just that they didn't know how he would be. You know the doctors badgered them to donate which is what killed the guy. If they can cure you for $10,000 or kill you for $20,000 they will kill you.
Got any videos for me? In 1995 my 2 yo daughter was declared brain dead after a car crash. She was AB-. We donated her organs. I'd be lieing if I said I don't believe there is a conspiracy to this.
@@jennylynbeckwith Hey I've seen someone online called Anon Z and she makes videos about organ donations and the terrible things that happen from them.
Nothing is balanced with these TEDx talks. You REALLY NEED TO RESEARCH the subject of organ donation. Big clue: Reseach why you should NOT become an organ donor.
I’ve been told by every nurse and doctor friend I’ve spoken to that if you come into the hospital in bad shape and are an organ donor the hospital will not do as much to save you and if anything will do even worse...”facilitate organ donation”. But hey you “gave life” and everybody stood in a hallway 30 seconds for you for a big send off!
I search it on the Internet and the most I found was a sarcastic article pretending to educate people on reasons not to donate, but actually listing reasons why they should. It was sick. People simply do not take human beings seriously. They value goodness in terms of physical existence; everything that makes the existence worthwhile comes second.

Every funeral could be paid for by the deceased’s organs. It’s absolutely absurd that we can’t sell our organs upon death for our families/beneficiaries.
You know the money is charged for the surgeons and hospitals has nothing to do with the organs. You do realize if that was permitted some people would kill their family members for money. And you would be on a suspect list by this comment about benefiting off your loved ones death.
Great presentation! Last week my request to be removed from CA dmv donor organ list was returned to my u.s. Postal address undeliverable to address on back of my real ID receipt

@@switch-no-comply778 because the only way for them to harvest the organs, you have to be alive. They use being brain dead as an excuse to harvest your organs, Being brain dead, is not dead.
I did the same. I used to advocate for organ donation when I was in nursing school. After working in medical field for 15 years, I changed my mind for several reasons. Organ donation is being expected of people. Those who don't want to donate are being made to feel "guilty" for doing so, as if we have an obligation. Secondly, a lot of people talk about being on a list for organ donation as if organs come out of a pez dispenser, with zero regard for ethics. It's tough to see folks who have ruined their livers with meth and alcohol demand a new liver paid by others. Folks who continue to destroy their kidneys, liver, heart, while hoping someone else dies so they can get a healthy organ for them to ruin. Thirdly, this is a huge $$ maker, the medical community makes it sound sweet and altruistic of course. Why not when it's bringing in big bucks? And lastly, are all "brain dead" donors really dead? I respect people's opinion on this, and I'm happy for those who have been given extended life by using donated organs. I hope it's a long and fruitful life. However, it is my belief that this practice has a lot of ethical problems that are not being addressed. We don't have the right to expect others to give their body parts so we can be "healthy" again. We live in a world where we sugar coat death, we pay insane amounts of money to beat death, we can't accept our mortality, and we prey on the emotions of others so we can postpone the inevitable. Those of us against this practice are labeled as cruel or insensitive, there is something very wrong with this view. But...having said all that, who are we (the opposers) to say anything against this billion dollar industry? Nice TED talk though...
Most of them are Jehovah's Witness and other small sectarian organizations that are against organ donation. They are here to spread their propaganda against organ donation. Pay no mind to them as they are not utilizing their's!
Or they’re hyped by Alex Jones types. It sad to know so many people are so conspiracy filled. If there’s a government run shill then find the people running it and tear it down but until then there’s no great evidence to believe it.
Thank you so much . My brother in law need kidney . They ask me I was confuse . What should I do. People say the same thing . I'm single mother of too. What should I do. But now I think I'm clear. I will go for it.
@@balrajkaur5912 i wish you and your brother in law all the best. but dont feel pressured to donate, nobody has a right to your body. make this decision calm and rational, take your time. best of luck
call me a pessimist or a cynic, but... 1. all these people probably earn more than an average american 2. they are or appear to be mostly or all white, why is this important? because they TEND to have more money than the average joe, not to say ALL of them do but, yeahhh 3. they probably have an insanely expensive health insurance that, again most people dont have and lastly... 4. The cost of: -medical bills - hospital stays - medication that may be given - lab work - even transpotation not one mention of those, and again out of reach of the majority of people... and need i remind everyone of literal TIME that poor people CANNOT AFFORD to take off to do any of these because you would have to choose between going to WORK and going to the hospital because you can BARELY get your rent and utilities paid. I'm sure there'd be much more donations if people were getting paid to give their organs. In conclusion I understand the need for donors and im glad everyone mentioned is ok, but for a poor person, these procedures are very much out of reach when considering their circumstances.
i also want to add in that poor people will get the medical attention that they need even on government health insurance, but they will only get SOME of it paid, and then theyll be in debt, so its not something that is a clearcut answer to a poor sick person.
@@ag5768 lol. Then your claim that he didn't say anything else true can be thrown out and you can now be treated like the conspiracy addled minded person you are. Thanks for playing.
@@westernwarrior978 The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. Yeah looks, like you need to do your hw.
@jon8463 many match with family. And even not, there are things called donor chain reactions where say you don't match with your family member, but you match with someone else on the registry, then that person's family can donate to someone else that matches and so one until there is a match found for your family. And even if not, why is it a bad thing to help someone?
misleading and false information! I wonder how much this guy got paid to do this talk. Please do a thorough research before donating or holding an organ donor document.
@@auschick8176 he is talking about donating from a healthy person, that is making that conceous decision, to a sick person. But he never says anything about harvesting organs from a person, that's bin declared brain dead, which means the person is still alive and breathing, and his organs will be taken without anesthesia. Those poor souls are being murdered in a horrible way, the process can last up to 5 hours. Children's hair turn gray, nurses who quit their job, testified, that some she'd tears ,clench they're teeth . The term brain dead has been made for the purpose of harvesting organs from living people. Nobody needs dead organs.
@@peterfriesen4885 That's horrifying. Also knowing that surgery was done on babies without anesthesia up to 1987 because they "couldn't feel pain" says a lot.
He has gotton hidden untracable money for DOING THESE promotions!!! Might as well call him a trill for the gov nwo . hes not DOING these OUTA GOODNESS his HEART. Bought paid FOR!!!! For SURE!!!
@@mariachavez4050 I haven't become a target for anything. What exactly are they a "target" of? And yes, everybody's body breaks down as does all life. But giving someone with a PKD, my kidney, It helps gives them more life and I am not hindered in my life in anyway. Same with liver transplants. The is only a net positive gain
@@mariachavez4050 again. You're factually incorrect. I havent had to change anything in my life. And what? Because I gave someone my kidney people are going to hunt me down and cut out my heart? Lol that's murder buddy. You're peddling nonsense conspiracy.
Organ donation is a sin. God's intent is not for everyone to live til old age. You're only delaying your punishment by going against God's plan and trying to control your death.

No. You don't. First you must present a afterlife exists. Then you have to prove that your material parts are somehow needed for a being that is immaterial

Wait…he looks alert and was “cognizant” to make a drastic decision to donate his organs after the craniectomy while he is still alive? So this is assisted unaliving then.
I am considering cancelling my donor status because I just learned that rich people have a much higher chance of getting my organs. I don't want to help rich people in that way
yes you are right, so ,you could ask the hospitals/organisation involved to let you chose/meet the recipient,
please don't back down, it's a noble cause
Im not donating organs either. There is hundreds of thousands of dollars to be made off these procedures, and there could be some vulture rushing to pronounce you dead so they can take your organs.
@@KrazyRX8 sorry for your loss, what can you do bout it ?,
@@mendingwall3823 but they have to keep you alive so the organs still pump blood.... tf are you talking about?
@@KarmaSwiss they can declare a person brain dead and rush to ask their familiy to sign papers, telling them there is nothing else that can be done. I don't trust these doctors, considering this is a business at the end of the dayn

In response to some of these comments. Yes, there is a tiny chance that I might make a miracle recovery after being pronounced dead, but that chance is so slim that it's not worth denying others a chance at life over.

Thank you so much for this video,I used to think that once you sign up to be a donor,that either you are dead or not and there's some big shot somewhere,they will just disect the person and take out his or her organs for transplant

Dan Drew shares his personal journey of becoming an organ donor and highlights the importance of dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation. Drew emphasizes the critical need for more organ donors and highlights the staggering statistics of patients on the waitlist and the number of lives lost due to a shortage of available organs. He also debunks some of the common myths surrounding organ donation, such as the idea that doctors won't try as hard to save your life if they know you are an organ donor or that certain religious beliefs prevent organ donation. Drew explains that every effort is made to save the life of the donor and that all major religions actually support the act of organ donation as a form of giving and charity. Drew also touches on the need for increased education and awareness around organ donation, particularly in marginalized communities where there may be cultural or historical barriers to organ donation. He encourages individuals to have open conversations with their loved ones about their decision to become an organ donor and stresses the importance of registering to become an organ donor. In reflecting on Drew's talk, it's clear that organ donation is a critical and life-saving process that requires increased education and awareness. By dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation, we can help to increase the number of available organs and save countless lives. It's important for individuals to educate themselves on the organ donation process, have open conversations with their loved ones about their wishes, and register to become an organ donor to ensure that their legacy can continue on through the gift of life. His talk highlights the importance of having open and honest conversations about donation and dispelling myths and misconceptions around the topic. He stresses the need for individuals to make informed decisions about organ donation and communicate their wishes with their loved ones. Building off Drew's points, it's important to recognize that there are also systemic issues in the organ donation process that need to be addressed. For example, there are disparities in access to organ transplantation based on factors such as race and socioeconomic status. Additionally, there are concerns about the transparency and fairness of organ allocation systems. To address these issues, it's essential to not only increase awareness and education about organ donation but also to work towards creating more equitable and just systems for organ allocation. This may involve implementing policies to address disparities in access or improving transparency and accountability in the allocation process. Ultimately, the goal should be to ensure that all individuals who are in need of an organ transplant have equal access to this life-saving treatment, regardless of their background or circumstances. By working towards greater education, awareness, and systemic change, we can help to make organ donation and transplantation a more equitable and just process for all.
so many reasons I am not an organ donor. I encourage everyone to do a little research on how flimsy and unreliable a diagnosis of brain death is and how financially beneficial organ donation is to doctors and the medical establishment.
This is 100% the truth. I would never donate. In my city a family donated the organs of a family member who got an infection after a minor surgery which caused brain swelling so they "weren't sure he would be the same person they knew". They never said he was brain dead, just that they didn't know how he would be. You know the doctors badgered them to donate which is what killed the guy. If they can cure you for $10,000 or kill you for $20,000 they will kill you.
@@MrWhaatay lol, thats what they all say, every time its the "bUt brAin daMaGe". How much did Big Cremation pay you?
Got any videos for me? In 1995 my 2 yo daughter was declared brain dead after a car crash. She was AB-. We donated her organs. I'd be lieing if I said I don't believe there is a conspiracy to this.
"Flimsy and unreliable"? Not even close. Show me where you got those statistics
@@jennylynbeckwith Hey I've seen someone online called Anon Z and she makes videos about organ donations and the terrible things that happen from them.
Nothing is balanced with these TEDx talks. You REALLY NEED TO RESEARCH the subject of organ donation. Big clue: Reseach why you should NOT become an organ donor.
LG - that isn't actually a clue. It is like looking into a murder and having your boss say "trying finding the killer".
indeed;having a transplant,or donating organs is extremely bad and dangerous physically and spiritually.
LG what can you say about organ donation?
I’ve been told by every nurse and doctor friend I’ve spoken to that if you come into the hospital in bad shape and are an organ donor the hospital will not do as much to save you and if anything will do even worse...”facilitate organ donation”. But hey you “gave life” and everybody stood in a hallway 30 seconds for you for a big send off!
I search it on the Internet and the most I found was a sarcastic article pretending to educate people on reasons not to donate, but actually listing reasons why they should. It was sick.
People simply do not take human beings seriously. They value goodness in terms of physical existence; everything that makes the existence worthwhile comes second.
Full general anesthesia should always be given to all "dead" organ donors!
I'm filling out my paperwork as I'm listening to you speak. I have an idea of who I want this to go to, but I don't know her.
really very nice to hear true experience

Every funeral could be paid for by the deceased’s organs.
It’s absolutely absurd that we can’t sell our organs upon death for our families/beneficiaries.
You know the money is charged for the surgeons and hospitals has nothing to do with the organs. You do realize if that was permitted some people would kill their family members for money. And you would be on a suspect list by this comment about benefiting off your loved ones death.
They cant harvest organs on death
@@thefighter6071 yes they can
Great presentation! Last week my request to be removed from CA dmv donor organ list was returned to my u.s. Postal address undeliverable to address on back of my real ID receipt

I get the newspaper delivered 6 days a week
I took myself of the donors list
Why?
@@switch-no-comply778 because the only way for them to harvest the organs, you have to be alive. They use being brain dead as an excuse to harvest your organs, Being brain dead, is not dead.
I did the same. I used to advocate for organ donation when I was in nursing school. After working in medical field for 15 years, I changed my mind for several reasons. Organ donation is being expected of people. Those who don't want to donate are being made to feel "guilty" for doing so, as if we have an obligation. Secondly, a lot of people talk about being on a list for organ donation as if organs come out of a pez dispenser, with zero regard for ethics. It's tough to see folks who have ruined their livers with meth and alcohol demand a new liver paid by others. Folks who continue to destroy their kidneys, liver, heart, while hoping someone else dies so they can get a healthy organ for them to ruin. Thirdly, this is a huge $$ maker, the medical community makes it sound sweet and altruistic of course. Why not when it's bringing in big bucks? And lastly, are all "brain dead" donors really dead? I respect people's opinion on this, and I'm happy for those who have been given extended life by using donated organs. I hope it's a long and fruitful life. However, it is my belief that this practice has a lot of ethical problems that are not being addressed. We don't have the right to expect others to give their body parts so we can be "healthy" again. We live in a world where we sugar coat death, we pay insane amounts of money to beat death, we can't accept our mortality, and we prey on the emotions of others so we can postpone the inevitable. Those of us against this practice are labeled as cruel or insensitive, there is something very wrong with this view. But...having said all that, who are we (the opposers) to say anything against this billion dollar industry? Nice TED talk though...
@@polishmehappy . .....OK, but Where is your hope for good people who save lives? What about us who need organs? There are Truly great people ❤
@@polishmehappy lol "trust me bro". How much did Big Cremation pay you?
Amazing how few working brain cells are present in the comments of this TED Talk.
Most of them are Jehovah's Witness and other small sectarian organizations that are against organ donation. They are here to spread their propaganda against organ donation. Pay no mind to them as they are not utilizing their's!
Or they’re hyped by Alex Jones types. It sad to know so many people are so conspiracy filled. If there’s a government run shill then find the people running it and tear it down but until then there’s no great evidence to believe it.
Go watch more CNN. They have to keep you alive to harvest the organs. They also cant fully knock you out
Hi sister praise God hope you are doing well and I call you upon to stand with our music school foundation. Glory be to God
Indeed - the ones pressuring others to donate. How ironic.
Thank you so much . My brother in law need kidney . They ask me I was confuse . What should I do. People say the same thing . I'm single mother of too. What should I do. But now I think I'm clear. I will go for it.
please research more. you will be worse of after donating a kidney. theres a reason we have two of them.
@@shadylady308 thank you so much. I will do thay
@@balrajkaur5912 i wish you and your brother in law all the best. but dont feel pressured to donate, nobody has a right to your body. make this decision calm and rational, take your time. best of luck
I'm a A+ kidney donor. I'm young and healthy. I need help please help me🙏🙏🙏🙏 help me as possible.
14.55 I swear this was a storyline in the medical drama new Amsterdam.
I wan to donate every thing of my body
call me a pessimist or a cynic, but...
1. all these people probably earn more than an average american
2. they are or appear to be mostly or all white, why is this important? because they TEND to have more money than the average joe, not to say ALL of them do but, yeahhh
3. they probably have an insanely expensive health insurance that, again most people dont have
and lastly...
4. The cost of:
-medical bills
- hospital stays
- medication that may be given
- lab work
- even transpotation
not one mention of those, and again out of reach of the majority of people...
and need i remind everyone of literal TIME that poor people CANNOT AFFORD to take off to do any of these because you would have to choose between going to WORK and going to the hospital because you can BARELY get your rent and utilities paid.
I'm sure there'd be much more donations if people were getting paid to give their organs.
In conclusion I understand the need for donors and im glad everyone mentioned is ok, but for a poor person, these procedures are very much out of reach when considering their circumstances.
i also want to add in that poor people will get the medical attention that they need even on government health insurance, but they will only get SOME of it paid, and then theyll be in debt, so its not something that is a clearcut answer to a poor sick person.
I think it was about 2 words that he spoke that were true.
Please provide evidence that everything else said was false.
@@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer how bout no
@@ag5768 lol. Then your claim that he didn't say anything else true can be thrown out and you can now be treated like the conspiracy addled minded person you are.
Thanks for playing.
Is there such thing organ / tissue donors without borders ???????
I put donor on my license because what will I need organs for when I'm dead?
What if your not dead
@@alidi4144 you mean like a vegetable? Cause I that case give me 6 months and if I'm not good in that time. Just unplug me.
The process is they keep you alive put you on a paralytic and dissect you alive- Dr. Byrne wrote a book on it
You cannot harvest organs from a dead body. Do your homework (and I pray you change your mind)
@@westernwarrior978 The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. Yeah looks, like you need to do your hw.
Organ donor is very questionable They can only use the donor if the client is a life
Just because it freaks you out personally on an emotional level does not mean it's questionable.
Stop adding to fear-based misinformation.
We know the truth.$
i like donating my blood because I am AB+ hehe
AB+ can only donate to AB+
I'm O-neg and I keep my blood to myself, haven't donated since it was basically forced in USMC boot camp.

Biggest mistake you can make, not including being a living donor.
Not.a mistake and I'm glad I saved my brothers life.
@jon8463 many match with family.
And even not, there are things called donor chain reactions where say you don't match with your family member, but you match with someone else on the registry, then that person's family can donate to someone else that matches and so one until there is a match found for your family.
And even if not, why is it a bad thing to help someone?
I'm a A+ kidney donor. I'm young and healthy. I need help please help me🙏🙏🙏🙏 help me
misleading and false information! I wonder how much this guy got paid to do this talk. Please do a thorough research before donating or holding an organ donor document.
Tina Fosse what is false and misleading?
@@auschick8176 he is talking about donating from a healthy person, that is making that conceous decision, to a sick person. But he never says anything about harvesting organs from a person, that's bin declared brain dead, which means the person is still alive and breathing, and his organs will be taken without anesthesia. Those poor souls are being murdered in a horrible way, the process can last up to 5 hours. Children's hair turn gray, nurses who quit their job, testified, that some she'd tears ,clench they're teeth . The term brain dead has been made for the purpose of harvesting organs from living people. Nobody needs dead organs.
@@peterfriesen4885 That's horrifying. Also knowing that surgery was done on babies without anesthesia up to 1987 because they "couldn't feel pain" says a lot.
Please present evidence that what he said was false or misleading.
If I could give up my other kidney I would. I hate the fact so many people dont want to be living donors.
Spoken like an organ dealer.
