I signed up for organ donation years ago. I am seriously thinking of changing that after reading so much about the tendency to throw in the towel prematurely on those designated as organ donors. Something for us all to think about... 🤔

All my parts are worn out with most needing upgrades. They aren't worth what the hospital wants to charge for them. They do tend to want take control of your body as quickly as possible to save others with "your" parts as soon as possible. Your wishes for them to wait become an obstacle to them making lots of money.

Worn parts are better than no parts and I'm sure the hospital would charge a ridiculous fee. It is all about the money and that is just so wrong. 



I think you may have an inside track, D, so wouldn't be surprised if you stick around for a very long time. :) 😉

In 2023 I was in a coma and brain dead. Doctors wanted to take me off life support. My brother refused. He pointed out I'd cheated death 2 years earlier in my first Coma when they called my family in and said "his organs are shutting down. He'll be dead by midnight."

When they told me I'd been brain dead I didn't believe it. I didn't think you could come back from that. Then I saw it on my discharge papers.

13 of us have come back from brain death. 

God decides these things, not Medical Science.

Amazing story! I think your unique experience warrants more than just conversation...that is book material! It would be a great help to others & even if you only saved one other life, that would still be quite an accomplishment. 



So glad you made it....you have a lot to say that is of great value to other thoughtful conservatives.

I don’t know how his court case turned out, but I think he has a very good argument for using lethal force in defense of life.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

They had already allocated his organs. In 2015, Texas father George Pickering II refused to accept doctors’ declaration that his son was brain dead after a massive stroke. Hospital staff began withdrawing life support & had already contacted organ donation services. Pickering took a stand & barricaded himself inside the hospital room with a gun triggering a tense three-hour SWAT standoff. During negotiations, Pickering repeatedly insisted his son was still alive. Then came a moment that changed everything: on command, his son squeezed his hand, proving he was still responsive. Pickering eventually surrendered peacefully and spent nearly a year in jail for his actions. Against all expectations, his son survived and went on to recover. Why did he spend time in jail when he was just defending his son’s life? When you are an organ donor, they try to take you off life support pretty quickly.
