Think again!
Greetings, Fellow Life-Advocates!
Have you ever wondered about organ donation? Is it safe for the donor? Is it ethical?
Buckle your seatbelt and prepare to learn some eye-opening truths!
"The public goes to the DMV, and they're asked if they want to become an organ donor. They're asked to make one of the biggest medical decisions of their life without any information." --Dr. Heidi Klessig
Find out first-hand what happens when someone agrees to be an organ donor, then is diagnosed as "Brain Dead." "Recently many Americans have been shocked to learn more about organ donation. The Department of Health and Human Services released a report detailing examples of systematic disregard for human life in organ donation. This week Brad and Victor are joined by Dr. Heidi Klessig, a leading expert on the dangers of organ donation for part one of exposing the shocking dangers of organ donation."

In a second interview, Dr. Klessig addresses the possibility of ethical organ donation. "Last week, on Straight Talk on Life Issues, we discussed the shocking dangers of the organ donation process. This week we are once again joined by expert Dr. Heidi Klessig as we continue our important conversation. Dr. Klessig shares more information on the process known as normothermic regional perfusion. We also discuss ways that you can give the gift of life without being subject to the dangers of organ donation." "Don't be a registered organ donor is my recommendation; I think it is unsafe to be a registered organ donor right now."

Only God, who gives life, has the authority to end it. Sound medical procedures are based on this truth. If a procedure disregards God's prerogative, it is ethically unsound.
Keep thinking, and protect your life and that of your loved ones!
