So sorry for your tragic loss! To facilitate organ donation, the definition of death was changed to "brain death" because a beating heart is required to keep the organs alive. Organ donation is big business and big money. Sorry I am so cynical, but these last 3 years have solidified my cynicism.

There’s no need to apologize to me. I’m as cynical, if not more so, than you. Truly, I’m with you 100%. The definition of brain dead has not changed for the past 50 years or more. (I think they defined it in the 60s. They make a crap ton of money with organ transplants and donations. It’s a kill Peter to save Paul situation. If people know this going in, that’s one thing, but most don’t.
