![]() ![]() The term “Brain Death” was invented by a team of Harvard physicians to re-define death for this very purpose. The problem is that certain organs are always cut out of living people, effecting a homicide for “good reasons.”Īlthough a liver or a cornea could be harvested from a cadaver for organ donation from a dead body, a heart is always cut out of a living body in first world countries. There will be no overt Catholic bioethics below, except these two sentences: The Catholic Church has no problem with organ donation per-se. ![]() In other words, this blog post will be practical medical advice for all readers Catholic or non-Catholic. I am writing this blog post “Why you should say no to organ donation on your driver’s license” as a former paramedic, not as a priest. Edit: USA Today wrote a very important article following my blog post called Death by Donation: Euthanizing Patients for Organs.Īlthough I am a Catholic priest, I am also an ex-paramedic and I graduated pre-health from Boston College. ![]()
