TSRadio Harvesting Organs Facts with Marsha Joiner and Heidi Klessig MD

Hosted by Marsha Joiner

Guest Heidi Klessig MD and coauthor of Harvesting Organs & Cherishing Life

When I’m dead, I want to donate my organs to help someone.  Wait.. What do you mean I'll be alive when they take my organs?  Would it surprise you to know that you CANNOT be dead when your organs are harvested?  Organs don't come from a cadaver, only various tissue is viable after you are dead.  Transplanting organs requires blood pumping to be viable to donate. And giving someone too much anesthesia would not make for a healthy organ either.

Would that change your decision?  Do you think that you or your family will be told that if they have someone waiting for a heart, liver or a kidney?  Of course not!  They don’t want you to “chicken out”. 

Let's talk hard facts with Heidi Klessig MD, a retired Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist and co-author of HARVESTING ORGANS & CHERISHING LIFE.  You don't want to miss this frank discussion!  Knowledge is PowerFUL.

Do you know about the revised 2006 The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and what that means to you as a potential organ donor? You should!
