HARVESTED ALIVE?

from The Highwire with Del Bigtree Hosted by The Highwire with Del Bigtree

The probe uncovered alarming findings, including nearly 30% of reviewed cases showing serious concerns—ranging from neurological signs inconsistent with organ donation eligibility to a shocking 28 patients who may not have been deceased at the time their organs were harvested.
