What exactly is “brain dead” - medically speaking?

[Anonymous]

Organ harvesting from living people is criminal, but demand and profits are worth it.

Your heart is still beating, which is keeping the body alive.

This is when they remove your organs?

Brain dead is starting to fall apart as criteria somewhat as Neuroscience and medicine leap ahead. I watched a podcast about it last month that was troubling.

They proceed to remove organs even if you’re gasping and crying, according to reports.

This is why they try to hurry up with the pain relieving and paralyzing medications.

It’s unconscionable. The profits are too big to pass up.

They actually want to “expand” the definition of the word “dead”.

No hope for anyone who hasn’t yet caught onto what’s going on with the organ “donation” agenda.

It’s calculated premature death in order to swiftly harvest your organs. When you’re dead, you don’t need to be pumped with drugs to paralyze your body and reduce the pain of the knife.

In the context of mounting evidence, you are a liar. Why do you sound like a typical doctor?

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?

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

We’ve been deceived our whole lives. I feel like the only circumstance I’d be in a hospital is in case of a severe accident, and hopefully with someone I trust. The odds are too high for negligent errors. It’s the third cause of death in America.

You don’t. These people are all on ventilators.

You don’t.

Then what does it take, if you aren’t put on a ventilator?

A brain dead person who is not on a ventilator is also heart and lung dead. Their breathing wouldn’t happen on its own, because the brain is dead, including the centers that control respiration. In fact, checking for the absence of spontaneous respiration is part of the brain death examination.

Why don't you tell us what happened. Otherwise it's hypotheticals and speculation.

But bottom line is you CANNOT come back from being brain dead.

Then why didn’t they just stick with “dead”?

Your body is still alive. Your brain is dead. Someone has to make a choice at that point.

The body is alive because of the machines, only? Sorry, np, but I have wondered this too. If the brain is dead, it can't direct breathing, heartbeat, etc., correct? So on the machines, they're brain dead, off the machines, they're dead?

Right.

Yet we know that people do recover from being brain dead.

No we do not. No one has ever recovered from being brain dead. They are dead.

Nobody is declared brain dead instantly. I'm pretty sure multiple doctors have to examine the patient and the EEGs (brain wave scans) and they all have to sign that the patient is brain dead and will never return to consciousness. If the patient is breathing without a ventilator, they are not brain dead but they might be in a vegetative state which may or may not be permanent.

Thing is, you aren’t God, so you don’t know what’s permanent and what isn’t. That’s the problem with the industry, they believe they’re gods.

The wise wife of a cardiologist taught me that. She said she spent too much time with physicians.

God gave us the ability to understand this one. You don’t have to be a god to know that when the brain has irreversibly ceased to function the person is dead.
