"BRAIN DEATH" WAS INVENTED IN 1968 by 13 men at Harvard Medical School — not because science proved these patients were dead, but to free up ICU beds and harvest their organs.
Their original draft stated bluntly:
“There is great need for the tissues and organs of the hopelessly comatose in order to restore health to those who are still salvageable.”
That sentence was edited out before publication because it was “too telling.”
The final JAMA paper never called these patients dead. It described them as “desperately injured” and “a burden to themselves and others.”
These people have beating hearts, warm bodies, and circulating blood. Some “brain dead” mothers have even carried babies to term on ventilators.
They are NOT dead. They are severely brain-injured — and this redefinition stripped them of legal protections so their organs could be taken while they were still alive.
This wasn’t pure medicine. It was utilitarian engineering to serve the transplant industry.
Your loved one could be next. You could be next.
