"Brain stem death" is a closely defined but time intensive way of diagnosing death. It is not open to misdiagnosis when the full protocols are followed correctly. The patient must be treated to the best of the medical team's ability until he is declared to be dead by fully following written protocols, and then only after that the completely independent transplant teams should become involved.

The problem comes when avarice allows shortcuts and pure criminality to override Medicine.

This is one of the big reasons why I did not become involved with organ transplantation despite the huge benefits of the speciality for society.

I was a pilot for an organ transplant company.

Do NOT sign up for this.

You donate: everyone else makes a killing.

There is no such thing as "Brain Dead". These people are given muscle seizure drugs and are fully aware of what is happening to them, the whole time.
