In 2023, the American Academy of Neurology issued a new brain death diagnosis guideline which does not comply with the law under the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). Thus, patients with severe brain injury are being diagnosed as "dead" after only partial loss of brain function instead of the "irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem" as stipulated under the UDDA.
Organs, unlike tissues, can only be harvested from a living donor.
According to Dr. Heidi Klessig, who has witnessed medical murder first-hand, too many patients with major or minor brain damage are being sedated and murdered for lucrative organ sales, when they are healthy enough to live and possibly fully recover.
"We maintain that [even] people in an irreversible coma are spiritually still present in their physical bodies," says Klessig.
"People have a right to be declared dead in a manner that is both ethically sound and complies with the law."
"In the discussions to which this interest has given rise and in the arrangements by which they may terminate the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. "
