    my intuition tells me that being an organ donor is dangerous when you are injured in the hospital.

    You say there's no cost to the family but that's not really true is it? Why don't you disclose what the donator is really charged for harvesting, handling, storage and transport of the organs they "donate"? How much does it cost the donator? Who pays for the operating room, the staff, the doctor and all costs associated to harvesting and caring for the organ?

    He's not being honest. Nurses and doctors have spoken out and said that when someone is alive in the hospital, and they want their organs, they'll put them on a ventilator with paralyzing drugs and claim to the family that they're "brain dead" and ask them to donate their organs. The family will say they're not ready, and they need time to see if the person can recover. The family asks the dr. to take them off the ventilator to see. The dr. takes them off the ventilator and the person breathes on their own, but within a day or two, the person has a heart attack due to the body's stress trying to breathe on its own *so quickly* ....and almost dies. So they put them back on the ventilator. The family donates their organs. *Here's what they don't tell you.* Paralyzing drugs will not allow you to speak or move, but you could very well be alive and thinking, listening to everything, and every conversation going on in the room. When someone is on a respirator, they must be WEANED off of it, or the person's heart WILL fail due to shock. *It's all a set up.* Then, when they take their relative to the operating room, the person is conscious, they hear what's about to happen, they are paralyzed, can't speak and they feel everything as they die in pain, without anesthesia. All just to get those organs which can be sold for over a million dollars to other hospitals, and the rich. 2 eyes, 2 lungs, 2 kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas, intestines, thymus, ALSO tissues include bones, tendons (both referred to as musculo-skeletal grafts), corneas, skin, heart valves, nerves and veins. The hospitals love having young accident victims whose body was not damaged, and had only slight head trauma. They immediately put them on a ventilator and give the paralyzing drugs, the person does not appear to come around, they declare brain-death, and the process for organ donation begins. Always demand they *WEAN them off the ventilator slowly, and stop all drugs,* then see what happens. Have someone stay with your relative round the clock, in shifts to watch what's going on. This is evil.

    I can't even be on Facebook. That's part of the reason that i'mwhen you wake up with 300 new unexpected friends. Your social media has been taken over. My sister's been taken over. You have to take it back if you have to destroy the lives of so many to do it. Everything we do in life is just a decision. Sometimes tough decisions are made for the greater good 1:08

    My cousin died suddenly at 32 years old . Before the police could notify his parents the organ fouls were on the phone asking for his organs and tissue!!!!! That’s a horrible way to find out your only son has died!!!!!! These organ snatching fiends won’t get anything from me or my family!!!!!! And they sell tissue to cosmetic companies

      Lynn .D I’m sorry for your loss and I know that was an awful way to find out. But organ donation can save so many lives, also when you die, you don’t need your organs.

    By body my choice! People pro abortion say that. Most people are in favour of getting rid of life when it is inconvenient but then want to preserve it when it looks good?

    How long is your body able to be kept on life support before they decide time to do a procedure?
    Also does your body see a medical examier before?
    Also can u be unplugged and wait a hr or two before them doing the procedure?
    Does the hospital then realse your body to family?
    Also if you passed away in another country do they transport you back ?
    If your died and they didn't know til hrs later can they still take organs if not then should you have a morgue know what else your wishes would be ?

      Hi Alli, for specific questions we suggest speaking to a doctor as the answer can vary person to person.

      Organs are only good if they are taken from a person who is breathing and heart is still beating. The person is declared brain dead. No anesthesia given

      The life support isn't removed until the last organ was taken
