I reviewed one of the linked policy documents, and found this:<br /><br />“Living donation prior to death from patients considering MAiD or withdrawal of life-sustaining measures (WLSM) should be neither offered nor encouraged.”<br /><br />Apparently the death of the donor is still the highest priority. Allowing the patient to give an organ and remain alive afterwards to have an ongoing relationship with the recipient is not to be offered or encouraged.<br />Dr. Heidi Klessighttp://www.respectforhumanlife.comnoreply@blogger.com
