Not much shocks me anymore, but the articles I have read and podcasts I have watched around organ ādonationā, have.
Thereās a new bombshell HHS report that claims some hospitals may have started organ procurement before patients met true death criteria.
Our latest webinar is now on replay with Dr. Joseph Varon and journalist Jan Jekielek.
Some key talking points from the discussion:
- HHS whistle-blower reportācases where organ procurement was initiated before brain-death criteria were fully met.
- Financial pressure on transplant centers: performance bonuses tied to organ count.
- Informed consent gapsāfamilies often unaware of the precise definition of āirreversibleā death.
- Potential solutions: stricter neuro checks, third-party ethics review, transparent audit data.
Link to the webinar and to the Free Organ Donation Guide is in the comments.
