What exactly is “brain dead” - medically speaking?

[Anonymous]

“Brains with utilitarian philosophies have a partial perception of life & seem to determine how another is supposed to be dead!”

Now check out what they’re doing with the placenta after women give birth in a hospital.
Yep, selling it… without our knowledge.

I DGAF what they do with a placenta after delivery. That is the weirdest organ ever and neither mother nor baby has any use for it after birth, which is why it is typically thrown out.

You can disagree about the earth not being flat, too (and you probably do).

I do not believe they take organs from living people, even if the person is brain dead. Doctors will keep a person on life support while they assemble the personnel and equipment they need and then they will take the organs very soon after death.

What’s supposed to happen when the person starts moving?

Depends on if you are trying to write a sensational story, or not.

The truth is that any individual who did "start moving," did so as part of the testing process to see whether or not there was movement in response to stimuli. So it worked to identify them as not a candidate.

But that doesn't sell advertising.

In a perfect world, this would be truth.

Even in an imperfect world. It's just reality, PP.

Luckily, someone did intervene in this case to stop the coordinator from finding another doctor. Does that happen every time? We will never know.

Apparently, you sedate them so they stop moving and finish the procedure.

Sorry to further confuse you, but brain dead people can even sometimes move involuntarily (not voluntarily), because of intact spinal cord reflexes that can proceed without any brain input at all.

Have you ever seen a chicken with its head cut off move or run around? That chicken is still not coming back to life.

Sorry to surprise you, but “brain dead” people are constantly coming back to life…. which means they were NEVER dead, Dr. Mengele. It doesn’t even necessarily make the news anymore. Shame on you all.

The human organ harvesting industry must be reevaluated pronto.

Okay I’ll definitely take the advice of a maniac on the internet with no background or medical training over the 20+ years of education and first hand training and experience of someone whose profession this is, and who derives zero financial benefit from organ harvesting.

Dead or alive, donor organs make lots of people very rich.

Too bad the living family of the donor receives not one dime, even if they’re destitute.

The system has zero incentive for doctors to help people get healthy again.

This poster is living proof that brain dead people can even use computers and type.
