What is Death? Organ harvesting etc

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...100301974.html

Figured amongst the gun and political threads why not another controversial thread?

I think it should really be up to the family/patients written will.

In the journal, doctors at Children's Hospital in Denver describe how they removed hearts from infants 75 seconds after they stopped. The infants were declared dead of heart failure, even as their hearts, in new bodies, resumed ticking.


75 fucking seconds!!!! wtf!!!???


that musta been an unwanted pregnancy baby.....75 seconds. that's ridiculous.

Well, they said no heart has restarted on its own after 60 seconds, why waste time?

Population control has got to start somewhere.

what the article doesn't tell you is that the baby may have had something else wrong with it besides the heart stopping. the article makes it seem like it was a normal healthy baby but the heart stopped and they said "fuck it lets kill the baby and use the organs for somebody else."

I fucking hate the mainstream media because of this type of reporting.



p.s. if one person's death can give life to somebody else then I'm all for it. I'm an organ donor. if I die I hope somebody else can benefit from it.

I'm an organ donor except for my huge wang. I'm UPSing that to rilla when I die.

To kick the controversy up a notch, you should be allowed to sell your organs.

I wrote an economics thesis on this. Eliminate the black market, save many more lives in the waiting line, lower prices due to availability, etc, etc.
