@RobTayTayJr This doesn't happen?!^^ & The opioid-crisis happened accidentally (more than 33% of the organs already coming from overdose victims; numbers increasing). Sure, you're a nurse, I believe you!

@Karamarika You're a terrible person, Kara Stoker. How urgently do you need an organ for yourself or someone you know?!^^

@Vy Sharirff If you think you're safe, you're wrong! Your organs are just qualified as so called "high risk" organs (or "marginal" organs as they're called in Europe. It's the same with me having hepatitis C, I also thought I'm safe and I've been wrong. My organs are also "high risk", but would be harvested and given to somebody who is (hopefully) informed and ok with them. Or they're implanted to other people with hepatitis C. Except my liver I think. (& No,I don't want another liver. I got the HCV virus with blood transfusions ~25 years ago. That's why some doctors call blood transfusions a "little transplantation" in the meantime bc it's also relatively dangerous. Imo that's all a huge business with people who are afraid of dying when it's their time. I couldn't avoid the blood transfusions back then bc my parents gave the consent for it. But I can refuse to get a"new liver" implanted, I've written it in my patient's will; together with some other medical procedures I certainly don't want. They'll not make money with me again. & I "opted out" of the donor list. I had to bc I live in a country where everybody is a donor automatically).

No, certainly not!!! You obviously have no idea, what "donor conditioning" means. Which is a process happening in the time period between "brain dead" prognosis and "brain dead" diagnosis. Don't need to point out, that a bad prognosis is all it takes to declare you pretty much as dead. It's a joke. Do some research on that, the body of the donor is seen as a corpse after this prognosis. So they can flush unlimited amounts of medical fluids through their system... Can't fill you in on all of that, as my native language is German.

@diana-cy4kj I'm from Austria/Europe. You should be aware most European countries have "opt out" organ laws when you come here visiting as a tourist.
3
@diana-cy4kj Unfortunately yes, some of the opt out countries do. American citizens might be a bit safer though. But in general yes. There's even been a case mentioned in a German video against organ harvesting. (Son accidentally hit his head while on holidays, declared braindead, harvested, parents feeling extremely guilty afterwards). Probably I should link it, hopefully it has English subtitles. Or at least, maybe someone understanding German stumbles across my link and wants to watch?^^

@matl2629 You're connecting medical assisted death with organ donation here. & That's the problem. While I wouldn't have a problem with medical assisted death/suicide in case of terminal illness/no chance for recovery in general, connecting these two becomes a huge problem worldwide now; thanks to people like you. Even in countries where assisted suicide is/was allowed till now, they're changing the laws to a combination with lawfully forced organ donation now. Can't tell me this is for the "ill kids" though, as I honestly doubt, it's possible to implant an adult's organ into a let's say 3 years old child. You sir, are telling a bunch of lies here...

@Stellalovesdandysworld7834 Are you seriously asking this here? There's no "right to other person's organs" anyways.
2
@Stellalovesdandysworld7834 Sorry, this is no "what if" question for me. I got HCV per blood transfusions ~25 years ago, my liver it's mostly gone now; but as you probably can imagine, I've decided against it. I'm on no list for an organ. 1) There aren't enough organs for the people who want one, so this is a dirty business I don't wanna be part of. 2) Much to my disappointment this didn't change till today, people are still getting diseases including HCV from stranger's blood till today. Which leads to more people "needing" a liver/organs in general. 3) What doesn't work with blood, just works for a few with organs. 4) When it's time to go, I go.

@Irish4u2nv Lol, this was a funny read! Great you found out her real name (Kara Stoker) but she's certainly projected by the OPO https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPO OPO - Wikipedia That's the American organ procurement organization which is extremely powerful unfortunately. She's very trusting. I'd recommend her taking part in a medical study knowingly, like I did 25 years ago unknowingly. Which gave me HCV besides other medical issues. Let's wait what she might tell us afterwards...
2
@Lilliz91 You've said it yourself: "There's no good time to ask!" (For organs). So I'd recommend to stop bothering other people more than once (!^^) in their most vulnerable moments/times of their lives!? & Take a "no" as an answer! There's nothing like a "right to other people's organs" anyways... So stop bothering people here bc you or someone you know needs an organ. (It's always the same, really). Also there's a huge difference to donate your own organs (without anesthesia) or those of your loved ones! I wouldn't do that either. There's no international definition for the word "braindead". You should really ask yourself for the reason why!

I got HCV per blood transfusions after an accident I personally didn't even want the medical treatment for ~25 years ago at age 27. I've never had the mindset to wish to survive an accident with disabilities and lifelong damage at any costs. But me being unconscious and before the time and laws for a "patient's will", my parents signed the papers for the surgeries for me bc they just couldn't let go. Now I can decide myself and I've a patient's will. Opted out of the donation system (bc I had to in my opt out country). Even with the HCV they'd harvest my organs - except the liver I think - a fact my lovely doctor didn't tell me about when she wrote my patient's will with me; it'd have been her duty to inform me though. But I had to find out about that all on my own; due to that I started digging and I didn't like what I found. I've lost all trust in these organ stealing blood suckers cause of this eye opening experience with my current doctor...they're all in on it, at least the majority of them here in Austria/Europe and pretty sure internationally as well. Who is still thinking, that the opioid-crisis & the rise of fentanyl happened accidentally and aren't connected to the American "war on drugs"-policy is downright extremely naive or doesn't give af bc in fear of needing an organ one day. I'm left with multi disability and the HCV, I'll certainly NOT put my name onto a list for a new liver; hell no! I've never been able to settle back in into my "new body" after the accident anyways, no matter how hard I've tried to cope. Medical mistreatment also caused a lot of unnecessary issues on top of all too; these together with the HCV caused severe PTSD and major depressions. Antidepressants (and other treatments) didn't work for me at all, the knowledge of having to deal with this crap till death can't be healed with pills anyways.

@diana-cy4kj For real! Unfortunatelly I totally forgot and just thought about the fact, that most channels don't allow links to other YouTube videos. So I figure searching it up is only a waste of time.

@Stellalovesdandysworld7834 Agree, this is a very sensible, personal decision! - Tbh, I fully respect this huge amount of trust, you've into the other doctors besides you! As from the context of your comment I assume, you're a nurse/doctor/learning nurse or doctor/member of an explanation team/a relative/however, at least somebody personally very interested into this topic. You put tons of trust into the neurologists/medical stuff, who're making this braindead prognosis for you, if you decide to donate! Their braindead prognosis - which is a first estimation into your future development based on brain scans and other medical tests - is at the same time the first step for your dead body to undergo the "donor conditioning procedures" and this has me worried! This "donor conditioning" usually ends into successful braindead diagnosis examinations, before they're ready preparing your dead body for the explantations... This adorable trust lead to your own decision to donate. & In case of this braindead prognosis - not the real braindead diagnosis (!) yet - this would lead to your body/organs being donated. Admittedly, I wouldn't have this HUGE amount of admirable trust and have to say, you've got lots of courage doing that! Specially cause I know, in the US anesthesia isn't allowed to explant organs and you're writing this below a comment about the op's boyfriend, who's probably been in the middle of his dying process, but not necessarily "really braindead", according to the reflexes on his feet mentioned above in the op's main comment. & Yes. It's always very important to let your own family know about this important decision, as early as possible. Bc this makes it so much easier for them to decide in case of such a tragic event. You've mentioned, he's been a donor and his family didn't follow his wishes... Tbh, I can fully understand that: In Germany, as well as in the US, there're doctors sent into the schools to convince the teens to become an organ donor at a very, very young age. As far as I know, these speeches are relatively half-sided; only showing the positive aspects of donating after death. Which is questionable in itself bc nobody would burry a braindead patient, would they?!^^ They're trying to hurry the teenagers into signing up for donation asap. & Of course, the OPO wants them to sign up as a donor onto the teens' DLs. There's also a certain impression/peer-pressure, that everyone not signing up, is seen as a coward; not trusting the doctor's narrative of "braindead". I'm certainly not a religious person at all, more a spiritual one; who's accepting death... But every brain injury is as unique as each human himself/herself. - Which is the real reason, why there's still no accepted definition of "being braindead" in the western part of medicine in general!^^ I truly honestly wish, they'd put the same effort into creating artificial organs to end this endless "need for organs" of other people!!! & While I don't doubt there're certainly rare cases of real braindead patients, who can donate without a doubt, those "braindead definitions" are getting legally and lawfully stretched constantly. This entire concept of donating (willingly) is slowly, but surely shifting into most people claiming to have a right to other persons' organs; in case they'd need one/several of organs in the near future. This is a forced process of changing peoples' minds over generations by using full-blown propaganda, I don't feel comfortable with at all! That's why imo there's nothing wrong with politely agree to disagree on that. (My comment will be continued, as soon as I'm able to stop sleeping from complete exhaustion/liver. - Sadly it also takes me longer, to write in English, as usually German is my native language. There's still a huge chunk missing; explaining, why I don't see that amount of trust from my own view).

@catrachaV4 Not sure, did you wanna say: "... it was a miracle she woke up." (?) I might be totally wrong though...

@judyayson Judy, be happy you've your new organ and leave other people alone! (My feeling is telling me I'm pretty sure damn right about that. It's always the "grateful organ recipients" commenting things like that! Which is why you got that organ as an average person in the first place; call yourself lucky!)

@kimwoo3504 You can look up his name on ANON Z (YouTube channel) part 2 of her video trilogy about organ donation. It's a heartbreaking story, this kid really got murdered. He didn't die "in time" and he certainly was not braindead either. So according to the remaining documents (parts "got lost" conveniently) he got morphine every 15 minutes, which didn't work though. He still clinched to dear life, so they gave him fentanyl to end him but still, it didn't work. The explantation team had to stop it, they wheelchaired him into a room and it took him 8 hours to die without a respirator. Don't know if the parents were there with him (but I don't think so) or if he died in that room all alone on his own; snapping for air. At the autopsy the coroners and especially a very smart, fearless nurse brought the truth to light. No doctor got sentenced. I'm sure the jury was in desperate fear they (or one of their families' members) would need medical treatment at one point in their lives. It's just a mess...

@EthanPDobbins It's extremely pointless to sue a hospital (or a doctor) here in Austria/Europe. Maybe would've worked differently in the US, but I'm not sure. They'll always say you've got the hepatitis C before arriving in the hospital. (Due to the incubation time period being 2 weeks to 6 months, depending on how you've got the HCV). Doesn't matter you didn't have been tested positive for HCV in the files they make upon arrival in the hospital. Not even sure they would've been able to backtrace all the blood (of the blood transfusions I got). This was the time of paper files (which got lost all the time). Don't think, I didn't try to sue them though...
1
@EthanPDobbins Don't think I would've suffered hell, if there would've been laws for a patient's will earlier in my country.

@EthanPDobbins Thank you, best wishes for you as well!

Do you mean: "... more into curing cancer than healing it..." (?) Double-checking/editing a comment doesn't hurt.

@koltonshampine5441 No problem, your welcome!

There's always information missing in such controversial cases, I fully agree on that!

Exactly!
1
AzrielJale So true! People want to trust their doctors though and this might be their downfall!
1
Oh dear, I'm honestly sorry for your loss. Your experience sounds so extremely horrific! (Even if told by the person sitting with your brother, if I got that right).
1
@reneegraves4486 You were at the top of the list bc they needed another person of the 20% of average Joe's who got an organ successfully. Period. Call yourself lucky!
1
These CREEPS are worried WAY MORE about her precious ORGANS getting damaged later in her life but not about her herself! Whoever's still thinking the OPIOID-CRISIS happened accidentally is just extremely naive or doesn't give af because he/she might need an organ in the future. * Same with "THE RISE" of the different types of FENTANYL! * Same with the entire American "WAR ON DRUGS-IDEOLOGY", which is coming straight from the US to us Europeans as well. It's ALL ABOUT MONEY and PROFIT! When will people realize they can't eat money anyways?!^^ I start hating my fellow humans specially the doctors, organ explantation stuff/teams, everyone involved into this crappy business. ~3:22 ...& Always this damned argument with the kids, who needs and allegedly would receive an organ from a donor. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not even possible to transplant an adult's organ into a 2 year old. Think carefully about it, WHO REALLY GETS the majority of THESE ORGANS; ROCKEFELLERS &co. It's NO rocket science that a small percentage of the organs also have to go to the normal "average Joe"/a kid for propaganda to JUSTIFY these MURDERERS... :(

@airsoftprodigyjake3785 Wow, reading this made me sick. They certainly don't take anything seriously in this hospital... $6;- ?^^

@VySharieff Really relieved to hear that, Vy!

@VySharieff & Please don't cry, if you cry for me. I'm totally fine with it, I've made my peace long time ago!

@atcintorrino That's a good advice for sure! - I've no doubts, that legal papers can be written in such a weird way, that it confuses people, who aren't familiar with this type of manipulation. Thank you for pointing this out to everyone here!

I've HCV (hepatitis C), I've got it after an accident ~25 years ago and I'm living in an "opt out" country. Though I don't want a "new liver" for myself, the medical system here would take my own organs in a heartbeat; so I had to "opt out" asap. (Except my liver I guess). It's all a huge mess. I found out about that after writing my patient's will with my doctor, who also gives me the morphine against my pain (bc of my damaged liver). Conveniently, • she "forgot" to tell me about living in an "opt out" country. • She also "forgot" to tell me that my patient's will immediately END LEGALLY, if I'd have the bad luck to end up with a "braindead" PROGNOSIS (!) in a hospital. Mind you, prognosis, NOT diagnosis!!! Between the prognosis and the diagnosis there's this process of "donor conditioning" (as we call it in Europe, sorry native German speaker writing here). "DONOR CONDITIONING" means, you're LEGALLY DEAD now. That's why a patient's will is no longer legally working bc I'd be seen as a CORPSE. Only the quality of the organs becomes important now...!^^ This means gallons of water (most likely medical fluids) get pumped through the organs. & Generally the "dead" body gets prepared for a SUCCESSFUL BRAINDEAD DIAGNOSIS during this time period. (Which can last between a few hours to several days. Can't rule out weeks). If the donor has been an addict or needed pain medication: Well, bad luck for him/her, there'll be NO MORE opioids or benzodiazepines now; cause of this prognosis! & This is done AFTER the prognosis but BEFORE it comes to the REAL BRAINDEAD DIAGNOSIS. (In this time period they prepare the "corpse" pretty much the way they want it to be). I'm no professional, but I'm not surprised addicts/overdose victims/people who need pain medications are waking all the time up during this procedure. (Bet, this happens WAY more often than reported)!!! -------------------- Thankfully there's this discussing to turn Germany into an "opt out" country as well, a discussion I've heard about in Austria/Europe where I live. That's the way I found out how my own doctor did betray me. I started really digging deep into that topic. Way too deep. & I didn't like what I found... In the meantime my own doctor - not knowing what I've been finding out, digging through and knowing now - started to try to talk me into taking the great "brand new medications" against HCV ... which is entirely pointless with my liver results from 3 years ago. (I'd refused blood tests ever since, but she's a dumbass not questioning the reason why). Lol, I'll never forget her face, when I told her straight out, that the medications might be great for others, but I don't trust them or her anymore. (Sorry, I'm out of here, this still hits me emotionally & personally). Hope I could explain to you, how the drugs are being cleaned out of the organs though. This "dead body" isn't seen as a patient/client any longer; they can flush limitless amounts of fluids through that body. They use an opioid-reverser on this body. Even HCV & HIV organs are highly wanted and requested now. They're called "high risk" organs (or "marginal organs" as they're called here in the European countries). It's all a huge business and a lot of experimenting with these "high risk organs" now.
1
@DeirdreMcNamara No they don't, trust me. Or better: Don't trust me and do your own research! Google e.g. "HCV organ donation" and you'll find out, even these"high risk organs" are given to other HCV patients as well as to healthy patients. ("Healthy" meaning, not having medical issues like HCV besides the questionable "need" for an organ). Same goes for HIV high risk organs. Lots of studies are done with these marginal organs bc of the amount of donors having these diseases. The opioid-crisis didn't happen accidentally, same goes for the rise of fentanyl. Who's still thinking there's no connection between these occurrences and organ harvesting is downright naive. More than ⅓ = 33% of the organs are already coming from overdose victims; and they're becoming more and more each day. They knew the relatives of addicts would more likely be willing to agree to donate; I've no doubts about that! "My Hep C patients" what happened to them, if I may ask?!^^
1
@DeirdreMcNamara They didn't send the HCV blood to third world countries or gave it to prisoners neither. But you'd expect this would happen with organs? Come on...!!!
1
@DeirdreMcNamara No, as someone living in Europe, I didn't consider Ireland as "third world country" tbh. But I fully believe you that the US did send HCV blood to Ireland. I remember reading something about that, when I did my research about all this stuff... I'm sorry I didn't want to bother you here, I've read lots of your replies below this video in the meantime. Also I always forget, our informations might be a bit different... I remember being stunned about the English HCV Wikipedia, when I wanted to explain in English, why transplanting HCV organs doesn't make any sense imo. (English HCV wiki only mentioned 5 HCV genotypes and no subtypes at all; infact there're 7 genotypes of HCV and 67 subtypes though according to the German HCV Wikipedia). So basically they're giving a HCV patient a "second type of HCV" when transplanting other HCV organs into him/her...
