The New Definitions of Death for Organ Donation
Heidi Klessig MD
"Brain Dead Organ Donors" are not dead and "Donors After Controlled Circulatory Death" are not known to be dead at the time their organs are procured. Dr. Klessig will discuss these new definitions of death, which are being used for the sake of organ donation, and do not comply with current USA law under the Uniform Determination of Death Act (The UDDA)

The Dark Side of Organ Harvesting: May 25, 2023
Webinar featuring Dr. Heidi Klessig
"Emotional appeals about organ donation ignore what is really going on behind the operating room doors," warns Heidi Klessig, MD in a recent article published by American Thinker. She continues: "The public is being misled while doctors, lawyers, and ethicists continue to debate whether people should be told the truth."
Topics include: changes to definitions of death and their relevance to trends in organ harvesting; implications for patients, families, and medical professionals; and actions and policies that can be pursued adopt to counter unethical organ harvesting practices.
