I said no. She looked at me and asked again. I said, \u201cNo. Just check the box that says, \u2018I am a heartless, selfish bastard.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Note: In most states they have a \u201csecret\u201d law that once you agree to become an organ donor you cannot officially revoke it even if you believe you have. Make sure your family knows your wishes and that you have safety precautions in place.)<\/p>\n<p>What are you giving up when you check the donor box on your license? Your organs, of course \u2013 but also much more. You\u2019re also giving up your right to informed consent. Doctors don\u2019t have to tell you or your relatives what they will do to your body during an organ harvest operation because you\u2019ll be dead, with NO legal rights.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to 1968 a person was declared dead only after their breathing and heart stopped for a determinate period of time.<\/p>\n<p>The current terminology &#8220;Brain Death&#8221; was unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>When surgeons realized they had the capability of taking organs from one seemingly \u201cclose to death\u201d person and implanting them into another person to keep the recipient alive longer, a &#8220;Pandora\u2019s Box&#8221; was opened.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, through trial and error, they discovered it was not possible to perform this &#8220;miraculous&#8221; surgery with organs taken from someone truly dead, even if the donor was without circulation for merely a few minutes, because organ damage occurs within a very brief time after circulation stops.<br \/>\nTo justify their experimental procedures it was necessary for them to come up with a solution which is how the term &#8220;BrainDeath&#8221; was contrived.<\/p>\n<p>Much is being done to get your organs.<\/p>\n<p>For an organ to be suitable for transplantation it must be healthy and it must come from a living person.<\/p>\n<p>Once DBD (Donation After Brain Death) or DCD (Donation After Cardiac Death) has been verified and permission extracted from distraught family members (in cases where relatives cannot be located the government often now makes the determination on our behalf) the &#8220;organ donor&#8221; undergoes hours, sometimes days, of torturous treatment utilized to protect and preserve the body-container of &#8220;spare parts!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;organ donor&#8221; is forced to endure the excruciating painful and ongoing chemical treatment in preparation for organ excising.<\/p>\n<p>Literally the &#8220;donor&#8221; is now an organ warehouse and used for the sole purpose of organ preservation until a compatible recipient can be located.<\/p>\n<p>Donation after circulatory death (DCD) can be performed on neurologically intact donors who do not fulfill neurologic or brain death criteria before circulatory arrest. This commentary focuses on the most controversial donor-related issues anticipated from mandatory implementation of DCD for imminent or cardiac death in hospitals across the USA.<\/p>\n<p>The truth of the horrific treatment and DEATH OF THE &#8220;DONOR&#8221;<br \/>\nOrgan removal is performed while the patient is given only a paralyzing agent but no anesthetic!<\/p>\n<p>Multi-organ excision, on the average, takes three to four hours of operating during which time the heart is beating, the blood pressure is normal and respiration is occurring albeit the patient is on a ventilator. Each organ is cut out until finally the beating heart is stopped, a moment before removal.<br \/>\nIt is well documented the heart rate and blood pressure go up when the incision is made. This is the very response the anesthesiologist often observes in everyday surgery when the anesthetic is insufficient. But, as stated below, organ donors are not anesthetized.<\/p>\n<p>There are growing numbers of protesters among nurses and anesthesiologists, who react strongly to the movements of the supposed &#8220;corpse.&#8221; These movements are sometimes so violent it makes it impossible to continue the taking of organs. Resulting from their personal experiences and attestations, many in the medical profession have removed themselves from this program altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Watch: \u201cDead\u201d Patient Waking Up On The Organ Harvesting Table: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8WpoqaZjoNY<br \/>\n(Alex S.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;Dead&#039; Woman Wakes Up Before Organ Removal; Doctors Continue Anyway\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8WpoqaZjoNY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8WpoqaZjoNY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8WpoqaZjoNY<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time I renewed my driver\u2019s license, the clerk at the DMV asked if she should check me off as an organ donor.
