In my opinion this takes an ethical grey area that a very small number of donors would fall into, blows it up, and pretends nothing else exists.
Pain in brain death? Ascending pathways still work but your brain lacks the capacity to feel it.
Heart rate spike? Autonomic nervous system releases adrenaline, again, automatic; a physiological reaction.
Is the authour hoping that this will lead to a change in brain death definitions? Is he suggesting that the donor is capable of recovery, of a mormal life given time and our modern miracles? Not going to happen.
If this blog is influential enough to lead to people declining organ donation, or withdrawing from the registry, then I believe he is responsible for the impaired lives of potential recipients
And yes, I read the articles.
