Further push for killing for organs
This article came from Wesley J. Smith last September, but I'm just now getting around to highlighting it. A fairly recent piece by a bioethicist named Zoe Fritz has argued yet again for killing for organs. Fritz is especially pushing...

"We can't imagine..."
A friend drew my attention to this article in The Atlantic, pushing for loosened criteria for organ donation. I mean, really loosened. But I want to start by jumping to a would-be reassuring paragraph in the middle of the article....

No matter how bad you think it is
...It's worse. From the United Kingdom comes this latest: Women carrying children with anencephaly and some unnamed other said-to-be-fatal birth defects who decide to abort their children will be "supported" to carry their babies to term so that the state...

Will history be made in the Jahi McMath case?
Back a while ago I discussed the case of Jahi McMath, who was diagnosed as having suffered "whole brain death" and for whom a death certificate was issued on that basis. Here's what I said initially: Is Jahi alive? I...

This is not a good idea
It always pains me to have to disagree with Wesley J. Smith, who is such an important and stalwart spokesman for the cause of human exceptionalism, but this time, I have to do so. Smith is positively inclined toward this...

Choice devours itself--Julian Savulescu's deceptive dance
I echo Wesley J. Smith's opinion of Julian Savulescu, though he puts it more nicely than I would. Smith says, Julian Savulescu represents all that I find so objectionable about the mainstream bioethics movement. Savulescu, just to give my readers...

Was a patient declared brain dead ten years ago while breathing independently?
In the most recent Human Life Review a piece is reprinted from the HLR blog called "Coming to Peace with Brain Death." The title notwithstanding, the post actually indicates that the author, journalist Nona Aguilar, is far from being at...

Recycling: I believe in exploitation. Now what is it?
Wesley J. Smith has a new post up in which he dissents from a Wall Street Journal article urging that kidneys should be bought and sold, both from live donors and from cadavers. (Selling someone else's kidney after he is...

What do I think of the Jahi McMath case?
Some readers may be wondering whether I am going to weigh in on the case of Jahi McMath. Here is the latest news story on that situation, and you can research it further from there. I have said for years...

Various pieces of news from the medical ethics world
This article confirms what I said here about the difficulty of enforcing born-alive infant protections. The testimony of many nurses shows a pervasive pattern of overt discrimination against premature babies in withholding life-saving treatment based on the fact that they...

Bombshell allegations against New York organ procurement entity
A new whistle-blower lawsuit makes allegations that in a just world would, if even some are substantiated, shut down the New York State organ procurement organization, the New York Donor Network. An independent investigator should be appointed to look into...

And still more on organ transplant
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal by Dick Teresi says much of what I have been saying for a long time about organ transplant. Here are some relevant quotes. If you didn't know this before, wake up and...

Blocking the mentally disabled from receiving organ donation
This is a slightly tricky post for me to write. As my regular readers know, my position on vital organ donation is ambivalent at best and anti- at worst. I might be open to live donation of a kidney from...

In Narnia we call it "going bad"
"But that would be putting the clock back," gasped the governor. "Have you no idea of progress, of development?" "I have seen them both in an egg," said Caspian. "We call it 'Going Bad' in Narnia...." C.S. Lewis, The Voyage...

Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Part II
I've blogged about the alarming nature of organ donation many times. But if this, this, this, this, or this hasn't sufficiently alarmed you, here's more: (HT Secondhand Smoke) Some of you may recall from some of my other posts linked...

Presumed consent proposed in Colorado
Colorado lawmakers are considering a presumed consent law. Anyone who gets a state-issued ID (any adult, I presume) would be presumed to have consented to be an organ donor unless he did something special on the paperwork. This is sort...

That cannibalism example (Updated)
...that I gave here in the thread about China. (See also this comment of mine.) Guess what? It wasn't so far-fetched after all. Wesley J. Smith: "If these stories are true–and I believe they are–China is a monster state." Amen....

Two little-known facts about organ transplant
This post will be fairly brief. I hope to write more another time about last year's report by the President's Council on Bioethics (that would be the previous President's council) concerning the determination of death. Here I just want to...

To whom do we belong?
I present the following deliberate overstatement to provoke discussion: If a man does not believe that his body belongs to God, he ends by believing that his body belongs to the state. Now, since I said that this is a...

Rushing organ donation for the sake of "ethics"
Via Wesley J. Smith's Secondhand Smoke comes a story that some of you may already have seen: Organ procurement physicians in Denver have now done heart transplants from babies using the non-heart-beating donation method after waiting only 75 seconds from...

Okay, I believe in exploitation. Now what is it?
Being a person with some sympathies for some aspects of libertarianism in economics, I have always been prone to resist the application of the word 'exploitation'. For years I probably would have said that I didn't believe there was such...

Serious questions about brain death in new article
Whenever I say anything on the Internet on the subject of brain death, I'm always looking, or even pushing, in two directions at once. On the one hand, it's overwhelmingly important to resist the misuse of the term 'brain dead'...

Can you try to murder a dying man?
First of all, a blessed Good Friday to our readers. I realize that any of you folks who are of the Eastern Orthodox persuasion are not celebrating Good Friday today, so I ask for your indulgence. I'll be wishing everybody...
