Is Brain Death Truly Death? What Everyone Needs to Know About Organ Transplants

Picture a helpless victim being sacrificed for the good of society.
What image comes to mind? A Mayan temple? A virgin being thrown into a volcano? Or our modern ritual of the Honor Walk?
Here’s Wikipedia‘s description of an Honor Walk:
“An honor walk (or hero walk) is a ceremonial event to commemorate a patient whose organs are donated. The event normally takes place as the patient is transported to an operating room or waiting ambulance prior to organ procurement. It is typically held for patients on life support with no chance of survival…”
Even if “no chance of survival” were true, the phrase reveals what we all know: these people are not dead. Viable organs can only come from people who are still alive.
And people have survived after their honor walk and made a full recovery.
Larry Black Jr.’s doctor heard his honor walk being announced over the hospital’s PA system, ran to the operating room, and demanded that Black be removed from the operating table. Black recovered and is now a musician and father of three children.
We must expose the Honor Walk for what it is: a grisly ritual of human sacrifice.
