A nightmare discovery was made by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services exposing organ harvesting dangers.
The pro-life community has been ridiculed for years for raising alarms about the dangers of brain death diagnosis and organ harvesting. Concerns about the sanctity of human life being ignored have been brushed aside.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirms it has launched a “major initiative” to reform America’s organ-transplant system after it stunningly revealed that dozens of organ donors may not have been dead when the process to procure their organs was started, and dozens more exhibited “neurological signs incompatible with donation.”
“Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” explained HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves,” he said.
HRSA reported that it reviewed 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but ultimately not completed. It found 103 cases “showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation,” “at least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement was initiated – raising serious ethical and legal questions,” and “evidence pointed to poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams, questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.”
Pro-life concerns about the dangers of brain death diagnosis have been vindicated. The sanctity of life, both in the womb and at the end of life, must be protected.
