Re: Autopsy of an Organ Donor
I know I shouldn't bother saying this but, becoming an organ donor is not what it used to be. You can come in to the E.R. for a fucking cold and "the call" will be made, even if your o.k. What does this mean? The assholes that feed on your "donated" body and making easy money off you are waiting in the next room before you can even cough. And IF you do come in for a real emergency, guess who has a five minute window to die? Lets say your choking on your own blood and guts...and the nurse is right next to you....That nurse can't so much as look at you, can't do a shit thing till five minutes pass..It is "protocol"...and if you make it through the five minutes of hell without any brain damage she then proceeds to call for assistance. Watched a video in class, a girl who had her donor card, they left her gurgling in her own blood screaming for help till she just died out a couple of minutes later, guess who came running in a short while after? The "donor" team, READY TO SAVE THE DAY. Yeah right. Fuck that. |

Re: Autopsy of an Organ Donor
It is possible that he was a prisoner that just happened to die, and he had donated his body, or just Joe Schmoe that happen to die, and they were able to use his body. They try to remove as much long bone as possible, which is why it looks like he has had his arms and legs de-boned. The bone banks make serious $$$$ off of harvested long bone and connective tissues. The dura-matter, inside the skull is like gold to a neurosurgeon that needs the tissues to rebuild a damaged skull, to patch-up the damaged dura. It keeps the brain swimming in spinal fluid. Then all of the viable organs are taken as well. There is also skin grafts that are now becoming popular, as they have found that they can use cadaver skin grafts successfully. The long bone donor bone is used by bone-banks for use in a types of different surgeries. One of the most common is the "bone plugs" that a neurosurgeon or an ortho doc uses in a disc laminectomy, for the fusion of one spinal or cervical vertebra. It is the bone plug that has been harvested from usually a wrist bone, that is inserted between the vertebra to stabilize and allow the bone of the patient to grow into and around the donor bone. There are numerous other uses for the bone bank bones. I know that a lot of people in the U.S. think that prisoners that are executed, should be able to be organ donors... but, they can't. I believe that just about every state that now has capital punishment, pretty much exclusively use lethal injection. There are a few states that hanging, the gas chamber, firing squad, and the electric chair is still their method of execution. But, the number of lethal injection outnumbers all of the other methods by many, many times over. So, even if a prisoner did want to be an organ donor, it isn't happening in most states, due to the method of execution that is used. Out of all of the states, there is only two methods used, that would allow the partial use as an organ, tissue, or bone donor. This would be the states that still use hanging, or the firing squad. The other methods of execution will leave the potential donor unfit for use. The electric chair, you can probably guess the reason... yep, the insides are pretty well burnt and damaged beyond any type of use. The gas chamber, uses cyanide pellets dropped into a container of acid, to form the gas cloud that will basically turn the respiratory system to pudding, as well as making the rest of the body toxic, due to the cyanide being distributed through the body of the executed. Lethal injection also has about the same type of fault for a donor. It is actually what is in the third syringe push that voids the body for any type of donation. The third chemical that is pushed, is potassium chloride, it is used to stop the heart from beating. The other chemicals are common narcotic types that many people have had at one time or another. The first is Sodium Pentothal(generic name: Sodium Thiopental) a fast acting drug that will make the prisoner loose consciousness. The second is Pavulon, (generic name: Pancuronium bromide) a strong muscle relaxant to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory failure. The third is the Potassium Chloride, which stops the heart from beating. Generally all three steps and actual death can occur in just minutes. The drug that contaminates the body for any type of donor possibilities is the potassium chloride, it will render the body unfit, because of its toxic nature, and it can't be removed or flushed out of the system. The best that can happen to any prisoner executed in the U.S. is that their bodies in most cases are still usable as a medical school cadaver. That is about the best that one could hope for if they tried to donate their body for medical science. Some may have seen the website of "The Visible Man"... he was a prisoner that was executed in Texas, by lethal injection for murdering an old man during a burglary. They made 1mm graduations of his entire body, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet... pretty interesting website, worthy of taking a look. I guess that I have rambled on long enough. Just thought that some might be interested, or have wondered what the status would be considering the executed prisoners in the U.S. for organ donors. |
