Have you been informed...?


  • National organizations are bound to inform the public

  • But

  • The citizens are informed from a one-sided point of view. "If we inform the public properly we won't be able to procure organs any longer", stated Professor Pichlmair in 1985.

  • Doctors are obliged to report prospective organ donors. This report is made without consent or knowledge of next of kin.

  • On the basis of an assumed prospective brain death the patient is already treated in the interest of organ recipients. Next of kin are made to believe that doctors are still doing their best for their patient.

  • About 95 out of 100 brain dead patients whose organs were removed did not consent of their own accord.
