Dr. Paul Byrne: The Truth about Organ Harvesting & “Brain Death”

Back in my surgery days, I had the experience of being the circulating RN in a number of transplant cases in a large metropolitan Level 1 OR and was very uneasy with what I witnessed. My experiences are what made me take “organ donor” OFF of my driver’s license.

This was the reality for Bill Lumley, who at the age of just eight found himself fighting for his life after being hit by a van on his way to school.

His parents were told that IF he came out of the coma, he would, at best, be in a wheelchair for life. His mother was told not to waste her time talking to him because his brain was “quite dead”. During a routine update from home, Bill’s mother told Bill that his two-year-old sister had been practicing the piano for him. In a surprising turn of events, Bill laughed – a sign of life that prompted doctors to reconsider their plans.

Let this be a lesson …those hospital tests that determine brain activity DO NOT DETECT ALL BRAIN ACTIVITY.

These people, trapped inside their own comatose bodies, can hear what’s happening!!! When they are rolled back to the ER to have their organs taken, they can very well know what’s happening and feel every cut!!

DO NOT BELIEVE THE FAKE “BRAIN DEATH” DIAGNOSIS!!

A ventilator cannot make a heart beat in a corpse.

A ventilator cannot cause body temperature in a corpse.

A person with a heart beat who is on a ventilator IS NOT DEAD.

In the first 15 minutes, Dr. Paul Byrne gives vital information if you want the real scoop about “brain death” and organ procurement. Sad to think doctors such as Dr. Byrne will soon all be gone. What a treasure he is.

0:30: “Brain death is a lie”.

3:00: How the term “brain death” was invented. The first heart transplant.

4:30: “Brain death does not mean flat brain waves.”

5:00: Consciousness vs unconscious.

7:00: Transplant patients. Just because a person can’t tell you of pain, doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain. They give paralyzing agents, so the person can’t tell you of their pain.

8:00:  Calling a person “brain dead” is a way to get their organs.

12:00: Organ transplants and procurement. You can not get a healthy organ from a cadaver, you can only get healthy organs only from living persons.

13:00: They especially want the organs from young persons 16-30.

One Of the First Special Care Units in the U.S.

Dr. Paul Byrne established one of the first special care units for at-risk infants at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis in the mid-60s.

“Back then, there were no treatments for preemies and low-birthweight babies –the kinds of things we take for granted today,” he recalls. “I went to the administrator at Cardinal Glennon with the idea of creating a center where we could find ways to treat these babies. She said, ‘OK, let’s try it for a year.'”

After that first year, Dr. Byrne’s efforts had saved the lives of 30 babies. How? For starters, he partnered with engineers working nearby on the space program. They had developed a plastic cuff to fit around the fingers of astronauts, which could enable their blood pressure to be monitored during space missions. Together, they developed a spinoff that fit around the arm of a tiny baby.

Before this invention, there was NO WAY to monitor a baby’s blood pressure. (source)

Since preemies are so small, new, highly sensitive measurement protocols were also necessary to track their health.

“For instance, premature infants have very small total quantities of blood,” Dr. Byrne notes. “That required development of micro techniques to analyze blood. These micro-techniques that were developed for sick babies are now used for everyone. It was exciting for me to be able to participate in the development of what was then a brand-new field.” (source)

Most of this care is now commonplace in neonatal intensive care units.

Brain Death?

Dr. Byrne loved to witness babies who had been deemed hopeless develop into healthy children and adults. The birth of Joseph in 1975—at a mere 24 weeks’ gestation— was one such miracle.

“He had a flat electroencephalogram or EEG—in other words, no brainwaves,” Dr. Byrne recalls.

The EEG is a common method of measuring brain activity at any age. The flat EEG of Joseph was interpreted as “consistent with cerebral death. Nonetheless, Joseph went on to be a straight-A student in school, build a brilliant career, and he’s now married and the father of three of his own children.”

“My medical philosophy is that the best doctors are the ones who work the hardest on the people who are the sickest. What you try to accomplish for those sickest people first will ultimately have a beneficial impact on the rest of humanity.” ~Dr. Paul Byrne

Organ Donor? Consider This Before You Sign!

During the early 1970s, Dr. Byrne witnessed the increased acceptance of brainwave cessation as a legally acceptable marker of death. Shortly after, heart transplants became available.

“The push to accept ‘brain death’ has a lot do with the push for viable organs for transplants and longer and longer wait times,” says Dr. Byrne. He noted that, following that first heart transplant, the medical community began lobbying elected officials for new laws that first codified “brain death” in the US.

This had practical reasons. Dr. Byrne points out that to transplant a heart or a liver, the donor’s heart, circulation and respiratory processes must be kept functioning for healthy vital organs to be removed.

Organs from a cadaver are useless, he notes, because organs begin to decompose immediately after those functions cease.

“Now, when someone suffers a head injury or is deeply unconscious, there is a shift of emphasis from helping that patient recover to harvesting his or her organs for transplantation,” he says. The fact that viable organs are very valuable to the organ transplant industry can add a monetary incentive to the push to declare patients legally dead.

Forty-seven US states have passed the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) that presumes EVERYONE is an organ donor. This is in addition to those who have willingly registered as organ donors on their drivers’ licenses. This often creates a conflict, when the same individuals have also filed advance DNR (do not resuscitate) directives. In such situations, that previous DNR order will be overruled and the patient will be resuscitated in order for their vital organs to be usable for transplantation.

“Often I’ve worked with parents of students who go away to college, get into a car accident, and end up at the mercies of a medical system that wants their organs for a transplant patient,” Dr. Byrne said. Since few people have taken the time to study the issue, and since parents are often bewildered and grief-stricken at such times, it can become a complex battle to receive any form of life-extending care for such patients. (source)

“Not only do we have a culture of death in our society—it is a System of Death. If you end up unconscious and on a ventilator, the doctors at the hospital treating you will declare that your death is imminent, and by law, they have to notify the Organ Procurement Organization (OPO),” says Dr. Byrne. If you don’t want that to happen, Dr. Byrne strongly urges you to explicitly document your refusal in writing.

The Life Guardian Foundation website offers three key directives that can help you accomplish that objective:

1. a healthcare power of attorney directive,

2. a directive to protect and preserve life for a dependent minor or mentally incapacitated person, and

3. an organ donation opt-out form that can be carried in your wallet or purse.

“We have to work hard to protect life from its beginning until true death.”
