Currently hearts for transplantation Are removed from individuals who Are pronounced brain dead while they Are maintained on a Respirator and their Beans continue to beat. The circulation of blood prevents the heart from deteriorating. The typical Organ donor is an otherwise healthy individual who Dies from a motor vehicle Accident head trauma a gun shot or stabbing or sudden bleeding into the brain. Bui Many potential donors who die in these ways Are never identified. In other instances family members decline to authorize Organ donation. The new approach raises the possibility of with consent procuring hearts from otherwise healthy individuals who die because their hearts Stop beating such hearts had not been considered usable. For example such individuals might bleed to death despite resuscitation in Hospital emergency rooms. In fact much of the damage appears to be preventable with the Quot right cocktail of medicines to preserve the heart and to restore blood flow. Because of the procedure death itself might need to be redefined before Quot reanimated human hearts could be transplanted. Current Legal definitions of death make reference to an a a irreversible cessation of heart function and do not take into consideration the possibility of restarting the heart and transplanting it.
