31st January 2026 – Dr. Heidi Klessig raises the issue of the notion of ‘brain dead’ and removing organs, giving this chilling example via X (not the first time I’ve read examples like this – follow the link below for more information):
“In Kentucky, supposedly “brain dead” TJ Hoover was moving around so much as he was taken for a cardiac catheterization (to see if his heart was good enough to put into someone else) that he had to be given a paralyzing drug.
But it wore off, and he was looking around on his way to the OR to donate his organs. His family was told these were “reflexes.”
A whistleblower said he was thrashing around and visibly crying. But when two doctors refused to perform his organ harvesting surgery, the Organ Procurement supervisor reportedly told staff to just find another doctor and carry on.
Thankfully, Hoover was saved, and went on to dance at his sister’s wedding.
Because brain death is a social construct and not death itself, I can tell you exactly how many brain dead patients are still alive: all of them.”
