Catholic Fire

It sounds like something from a horror film, but it's actually being done in this country. Dr. Paul A. Bryne, a Neonatologist, and Director of Neonatology and Director of Pediatrics at St. Charles Mercy Hospital in Oregon, Ohio, writes about it in an article published in Renew America today. Here's an excerpt from that article: We are continually bombarded with ads to be an organ donor. We are told that we are giving the "gift of life" in organ donation. We are led to believe that organs are taken for transplantation after true death — i.e., after the heart and circulation stops and there is no known way to restore them. We are seldom, if ever, made aware that after true death, the heart, liver, and other vital organs are not suitable for transplantation. I recommend you read the entire story here.

I am passing on this message from my friend, WI Catholic , a nurse, who received this message. Please pass this on to anyone who may be among those who can help the reporter. Contact Nancy Valko at the email address she has given ASAP. Dear all, I have been contacted by a reporter from a national paper who is looking for doctors, nurses or family members who have felt pressured to donate a patient's organs and are willing to speak to this reporter. Please contact me by email ASAP if you can help with this or know someone with such a story. This is an extremely important issue. Thank you! Nancy V. email: nancyvalko@sbcglobal.net
