Dr David W Evans , Retired Consultant in Cardiology, says: “Human organ transplantation is Wrong because it necessitates the abuse of the dying or harming the healthy.

Dr Paul A Byrne , neonatalogist and pediatrician, says: “In order to be suitable for transplant, (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and pancreas) need to be removed from the donor before respiration and circulation cease. Otherwise, these organs are not suitable, since damage to the organs occurs within a brief time after circulation of blood with oxygen stops.” [more]

Earl E. Appleby Jr , Director, Citizens United Resisting Euthanasia, says: “Anyone unwise enough to have signed an organ donor card also has legitimate cause for concern.

Michael Potts , medical ethicist, says: “Any action that directly causes the death of a patient, even if it is for the good of others, opposes the goal of medicine not to harm that individual patient… It is precisely whether transplantation kills the donor that is the key issue that cuts to the heart of the goals of medicine.” [more]

Colleen S. Burns, was admitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center in Syracuse following a suspected drug overdose.
She was in a deep coma and doctors declared her “brain dead”.
Hospital staff convinced the family to give permission to take her off life support and harvest her organs. Yet, one day before Burns’ organs were to be removed, a nurse noticed the patient’s toes curled from the simple reflex test of running a finger along her foot. This and other signs of life were ignored.
As surgery was about to begin, Colleen Burns opened her eyes and gazed up at the bright lights overhead. Her spontaneous revival saved her from true death by organ harvesting. (more)
