HHS Finds Systemic Disregard for Sanctity of Life in Organ Transplant System
https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hrsa-to-reform-organ-transplant-system.html
“Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” Secretary Kennedy said. “The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”
