Surgeon Accused of Speeding a Death to Get Organs
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — On a winter night in 2006, a disabled and brain damaged man named Ruben Navarro was wheeled into an operating room at a hospital here. By most accounts, Mr. Navarro, 25, was near death, and doctors hoped that he might sustain other lives by donating his kidneys and liver.
But what happened to Mr. Navarro quickly went from the potentially life-saving to what law enforcement officials say was criminal. In what transplant experts believe is the first such case in the country, prosecutors have charged the surgeon, Dr. Hootan C. Roozrokh, with prescribing excessive and improper doses of drugs, apparently in an attempt to hasten Mr. Navarro’s death to retrieve his organs sooner.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, if the guy is definitely going to die, I guess its best to speed up the process in order to try and save other lives.
On the other hand, I would want the surgeons to do everything they could to save my loved one and if I knew they didn't, I would be pretty angry.

Are you talking about Kevorkian? If so, then no, not at all. Those people ASKED to die - they were terminally ill and suffering.

It does set a really bad president. This is 1 of those places where you really need to draw the line on procedure and not leave it too vague. I don't think it is a good idea to take into consideration that the person is going to die before they actually do. Now if we are talking about people that state the they want no resuscitation, feeding tube or anything to extend there lives might be taken into consideration. I have a problem with the good of the many outweighs the good of the 1 approach on this. I too am 1 of the people that will not fill out a donor card especially with my health being extremely good in particular my heart that is very valuable especially to me. I think if someone needs it bad enough and they have enough money they will get it anyway but I will not make it easy for them
