Podcasts about Organ donation

Bureaucracy kills more transplant patients than shortage does. Jessica Wynn harvests the truth about organ donation's dark side here on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1253On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Over 100,000 Americans wait for organs while 13 die daily — not from organ shortage, but from systemic inefficiency, poor matching protocols, and bureaucratic bottlenecks that waste thousands of usable organs annually.Living donation is safer than most realize. Donors can give kidneys, liver portions, even lungs while alive and generally recover well, but workplace protections vary wildly by state, creating real financial and career risks for altruistic donors.The organ matching system is a bureaucratic labyrinth. HRSA, OPTN, UNOS, CMS, and CDC all overlap in managing transplants, creating inefficiencies that prevent organs from reaching recipients in time despite available technology.Ethical nightmares haunt the system. Scandals include surgeons nearly harvesting from living patients, global black markets exploiting the poor, and allegations of forced organ harvesting from prisoners in countries like China without consent.Register as a donor and advocate for reform. One donor saves up to eight lives and helps 75+ through tissue donation. Push for automated referrals, airline transport mandates, and better tracking tech to transform a broken but lifesaving system.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Hans Nelsen, known on air as “Fast,” who co-hosts the morning show on Big 102.1 from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. each weekday with CJ Clements. Pictured are CJ Clements and “Fast” (Hans Nelson), co-hosts of Big 102.1’s Morning Show Hans has been on the air in South Louisiana since 1985, starting as a USL student working the graveyard shift at a new urban contemporary station and going on to serve as on-air talent, program director, account executive, and sales manager at several top local stations. He also spent years as a stadium voice and play-by-play broadcaster, and his career has become intertwined with the story of local broadcasting in Acadiana. Hans was joined by his lifelong friend Sean Trcalek, General Manager of KATC TV-3, who was once known on radio as “Charlie Roberts.” The two reminisce about their early days as radio co-hosts and their lifelong friendship. Early Love of Music and the Magic of Radio Hans grew up in a home filled with very different kinds of music, from German organ to big show tunes, and a little boy's transistor radio became his portal to the wider world of sound. He recalls: “I grew up in a household where my dad listened to German organ music and would play it throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. We had to listen to it whether we wanted to or not. My mom was really into big show tunes. ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” and “The Sound of Music.” But his own soundtrack lived on his bike: “As a little boy, I had a transistor radio that I taped to the handlebars of my bike, and I would listen to top 40 in one way or another. 1972.” He loved the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and pop hits like “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero.” As he got older, he says, “I really wanted to be a musician, and I wanted to be a singer, and I can’t really do any of that. I can play a little guitar, but radio was this next opportunity, though I didn’t really know you could turn it into a career. I just thought it would be something I did for fun.” Learning Radio on the Graveyard Shift Hans' first job was at an urban contemporary station, Foxy 106.3 (KFXZ). Growing up in New Iberia, he already knew some of the music: “It’s funny, you could be a rock guy, but also listen to the Gap Band and Kool and the Gang.” Even so, he had to go deeper into that catalog for a targeted audience: “This was deeper and a more targeted ethnic audience. But it was a piece of cake, because I loved music.” Being alone on the air at night was intimidating: “Well, I’d listen to so much radio. You try to imitate or emulate Casey Kasem, but I was so terrible. The fact that they let me stay past the first night…It was the middle of the night miracle.” He also remembers the mind games of that lonely studio: “You’re in a room by yourself and you can play mind games because you can either convince yourself that no one hears you, or that everyone’s listening. That one mistake, everybody’s going to hear it.” Hustling Through College Radio and 24-Hour Weekends Still in school, Hans got a weekend job at KVOL (1330 AM) and was quickly recruited by KSMB: “On my second shift, Scott Seagraves called me from KSMB and said, I’m listening to you. Do you want to come work for me?” He was “so hungry” to be on the air that he took on extraordinary hours. ““I would do six to noon on KSMB on Saturday and Sunday, and quickly added noon to six on weekends at KXKW. So, I worked 24 hours in two days and worked at a bar both nights. But I knew that I had the bug, and I turn it into a job!” That building is where he and Sean first truly connected and eventually became a morning team: “And Sean comes into that building, we end up being the morning team and here we are.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1XZVTbmikg Teaming Up with Sean: Voices, Characters, and Parodies Sean came in as a young newsreader, hired to do newscasts in the morning and afternoon. Their chemistry led to a two-man show that blurred the lines between straight news and wild characters. Sean explains: “It started as you and Debbie Ray and me in news. Well, when Debbie left, it was you and me doing news. And I think it was just kind of like. Why do we need a third guy? You know, I still did the newscast, but it was a two man show.” Hans recalls the “credibility issue”: “Sean's doing the ‘17 people were killed today' delivering the news and then he’s doing this crazy voice five minutes later and people knew it was the same guy. But we somehow just moved past that.” The two displayed a gift for spontaneous skits and song parodies: “We both could really rewrite song lyrics. We could make custom versions of big songs at the time. Remember Michael Johnson's ‘Give me wings, gimme wings.” It would end up, “Don’t give me legs. Breasts or thighs!” Hans says the creativity often felt effortless. “What was special about us? A special talent we both had was that there was no prep. We would sometimes do stuff and turn the microphone off. We’d look at each other thinking, that’s good. How did we just do that?” Hans Nelson (‘Fast’) and Sean Trcalek (‘Charlie Roberts’) pictured early in their broadcasting careers on the radio together. They have remained close friends over the decades. Humor, Changing Sensibilities, and Wanting Everyone to Feel Welcome Looking back at their 1980s material, Hans is candid about how much humor standards have changed: “Yeah, it was humor, but let’s just say sensibilities are different, right?” He offered a vivid analogy from pro wrestling to show how certain stereotypes were once normalized and now are not: “The character development in the 70s and 80s was the Iranian guy or the Nazi guy was the bad guy. It was what they did. You just don’t do that now, right?” Hans shared his personal compass: “I always wanted everybody to like me. I need as many listeners as I can get. They don’t have to look like me. They don’t have to vote like me. They don’t have to drive the same kind of car as me. But I want everybody to say, ‘I like listening to that guy on the radio.” Music, Memory, and Nostalgia of Radio For both Hans and Sean, music is deeply emotional and geographically specific; certain songs instantly bring them back to particular corners of their childhoods. Hans shared, “Some songs. What I’ve always been amazed by is when you hear a song and it brings you to a specific place. I mean, like a certain corner in your hometown and you’re like, why am I thinking of that when I hear Sammy John's “Chevy Van?” He offers another vivid memory: “Saturday in the Park by Chicago reminds me of standing in line at Saint Edward’s Catholic School for the cafeteria. I don’t know why.” Becoming “Fast Eddie” and Then Simply “Fast” A big turning point came when KSMB's sister station needed a music director and night disc jockey. The job came with a new name Hans disliked: “They tell me, your name is going to be Fast Eddie.” He tried to negotiate the name away, but wouldn't get the job if he didn't accept the on-air name. KSMB was too big to walk away from: Later, when he was put in charge of a new station and morning show, he pushed to shorten the name: “When we put the morning show on, it was the rude awakening with ‘Fast Eddie and Rob.' We could have done it. It just didn’t sound right. Fast is a speed, not a name, but it ended up being I can’t go anywhere and people yell it out like it’s normal. When I hear Hans, it’s heartwarming. I love being Hans, I wish I could be Hans on air.” The Power and Future of Local Broadcasting Both Hans and Sean describe themselves first and foremost as broadcasters: “What we have always had in common and still have in common is we’re broadcasters. People say, what do you do? I don’t say I’m the general manager of a TV station, or I’m a broadcaster. We’re local broadcasters and we’re passionate about it. We have been since the day we met, and to this day, we’re passionate about the impact that local radio and television can have on a market.” For Hans, that impact includes everything from playing nostalgia-filled music to public service in storms: “By impact, I mean moving people. When you play music, when you tell them what the weather’s going to be like, but also telling people where to go pick up sandbags.” Hans reminds us, “During a hurricane, we’re still the last man standing. TV stations may go down… but I have been on the air during hurricanes when I was the only voice available on the air in this market.” Sean highlights the advocacy role broadcasters have played in keeping AM radio in cars: “We are big advocates, and were successful this past year in advocating that automakers continue to be required to put AM radios in new cars. The reason to keep AM radio is that its infrastructure often remains operational when power grids fail and cell networks are overloaded or damaged, providing a core part of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). During events like hurricanes, AM stations became the primary way people received verified, real-time information, coordinated help, and connected with the outside world when phones and internet were down. They both reject the idea that streaming will wipe out local media: Hans says, “I’ll wrap that up with saying, Satellite radio and Netflix are not going to mean the end of local radio and local TV.” A Morning Show Today: Competing With Phones, Not Just Stations Hans reflects on what it's like doing a local morning show in 2020s Lafayette: “Technologically, it’s very different. Audience participation and reception is very different. We compete with many more things. I believe my biggest competitor in drive time is the telephone.” Listeners no longer call to check school closures, they get texts, but live local radio still plays a crucial role, especially in emergencies. Hans and his long-time friend CJ now host a show built on deep local roots: “We put this show together with almost a hundred years of Lafayette radio experience in one room for four hours a morning. There’s nothing that has happened here since the 60s that we don’t know about. We know where every street is. We know where the schools are. We know it. To me, it is a gift.” Big 102.1 has embraced app listening while staying “radio-first”: “On big 102.1, we've had over 1,000,000 hours of listening on our app. We’re still a radio station first. So if that many people are listening, that’s why we’re still effective… we do everything we can to stay connected to the audience, to do relevant things, provide relevant content and make it fun.” Voice of the Ragin' Cajuns From 2009 to 2017, Hans served as the stadium voice for UL Lafayette football and basketball, a role that grew out of his lifelong fandom: “I was such a fan. I was a Ragin Cajun as a kid. I wasn’t an LSU kid or a Tulane kid. It was USL.” Eventually, security protocols and family priorities pushed him to step away so he could watch games in the stands with his daughter: “Because of security protocol, she could not come in the press box. So when it was my weekend, I lost the whole Saturday and I said I would rather be in the stands with her watching the game.” His last act as stadium voice was a memorable one: “So my last duty was to introduce Billy Napier as the head coach. And I resigned that day.” Christian's Story, Organ Donation, and a Legacy of Life In one of the most moving parts of our conversation, Hans shares the story of his son Christian, who died after a workplace accident in 2013. Christian fell from a picker truck in a warehouse, and although doctors did everything they could, the injury was catastrophic. “He fell 20 feet. When you say 20 feet, you think broken ankle, maybe broken arm, but somehow, on the way down, his feet hit the forklift and flipped him. And he landed on his head.” At the hospital, after a brief brain surgery, the doctor came in and said, “Call your family.” When representatives from Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency arrived, Hans initially felt overwhelmed and resistant: “I’m like, heck no, I’m dealing with too much.” His ex-wife, Jenn, reminded him of Christian's own wishes when he got his license. “She said he would want to do it because he asked about it when he got his driver’s license.” That decision changed everything; “I realized he was going to save somebody’s life. We ended up saving four lives and it was life changing for us.” Christian's heart went to a teenage male that had been waiting for a heart for 18 months with time running out. Christian's right kidney and pancreas went to a female in her 30s. His liver went to a female in her 40s, and his left kidney went to a little boy. His corneas were donated, which gave sight to 2 people. Hans began speaking to civic groups and driver's ed classes about organ donation: “We would tell kids at Driver’s Ed like, they’re going to ask you about this when you get your license, you should know what it means. Most people can’t be an organ donor, even if they want to. You have to die a certain way.” He and Jenn started the Christian's Legacy Foundation to create awareness of the importance of organ donation and to provide support to donor families. Stories of other young donors continue to touch him deeply: “All these years later, those stories touch me in a different way. And I would not have read that story the same way had I not gone through that.” Is Broadcasting Still a Good Career? Asked if he would still recommend a career in broadcasting, Hans doesn't hesitate, though he acknowledges the landscape has changed: “I’m always going to recommend a career in broadcast. Sean explains that media sales in particular remain a strong path, even as technology and products evolve: “Your competition is different. Your products might be different. But of all we do, that’s probably changed the least.” There are fewer jobs, but better pay and more efficiency: “KATC had 100 employees not long ago. Our building was built for 120 people and we’ve got 52 now. And it’s not just because of efficiencies. Our cameras are robotic now Hans still longs to see young people with the same hunger he and Sean had: “I would love to see some young person who was like me or Sean who was willing to work 24 hours in two days when I was at KSMB. They fired the janitor, and for nine months I cleaned the building every night after I did my show, because I wanted them to see that I was willing to do anything to make it. And that’s not beneath me.” Through stories of late-night graveyard shifts, irreverent morning shows, hurricane coverage, stadium announcing, heartbreaking loss, and renewed purpose, Hans Nelson, “Fast,” reminds us why local broadcasting still matters. As he and Sean put it, they are, above all, local broadcasters, passionate about “the impact that local radio and television can have on a market” and the ways music, stories, and community can move people.

Rabbi Breitowitz- Organ Donation Part 2 by Mayanot

In this class Rabbi Breitowitz discussed the history of organ transplants, the American vs Halachic qualifications of death, & their implications regarding organ donation.

This is her piece taken from an original video here: https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/uk-column-news-12th-november-2025Liz covers the shocking truth around the highly sensitive subject of organ donation, the true definition of "brain death" and the promotion of donation following assisted death.Check out UKC's website and support their workhttps://www.ukcolumn.org/UKMFA:CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our new Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

What is the impact of organ donation and how can that message be transmitted to the wider public? That's just one of the questions facing healthcare professionals, donor families, and transplant recipients who recently gathered for the 2025 National Organ Donation Conference in Galway. The theme for the conference was “Conversations That Matter”. At the event John Burns, the former Deputy Principal of Rice College gave a talk on donor family experience. His younger brother benefitted from two liver transplants, while his older brother was an organ donor. John joined Sally-Ann Barrett on Tuesday's Morning Focus to share more on this.

Rabbi Breitowitz discusses the foundations for medical Halachot in the Torah. He elaborates on Judaism's command for one to seek medical care as best as possible and discusses the Halachic rulings for the donation of specific organs.

Evening Service: “Is Organ Donation Properly Christian?” Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Isaiah 65:17-18 Exploring Christian understanding of organ donation and the impact on the body.

The decision to opt out of organ donation should be respected.That's the view of the President of the Medical Council of Ireland, Dr. Suzanne Crowe.It follows the publication of figures in response to a recent parliamentary question, which revealed over 55,000 people have signed on to a HSE register to opt out of automatic organ donation upon death.Under current revised legislation, everyone is assumed to be an organ donor unless they have expressed otherwise on the register.Dr Suzanne Crowe joins Seán to discuss.

Organ transplantation has long been seen as a miracle of modern medicine but each year thousands of people across the world die while waiting for this life-saving operation. We'll find out how one medical technology company based in the UK is cutting wait times for liver transplants after inventing a machine which simulates the human body. We'll also visit South Africa which has one of the lowest rates of transplants globally because of a donor shortage and a lack of awareness. There, we'll meet Zane - a unicorn with a Zebra leg who's teaching children about ‘sharing a spare'.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Katie Payne from Life Bank talks about Organ Donations and the importance.

This week's episode is a special cross-over with CMDA's Voice of Advocacy podcast, hosted by Dr. Brick Lantz, CMDA's Vice President of Advocacy and Bioethics. Joined by Dr. Gary Ott, a renowned cardiac transplant surgeon at Providence Heart and Vascular Clinic, they explore the ethical boundaries of life, death, and medical innovation – examining how we define death in the ICU era, the differences between brain death and donation after circulatory death (DCD), and how emerging technologies like “heart-in-a-box” systems and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) are reshaping transplant medicine. With decades of experience and deep faith, Dr. Ott challenges us to uphold the sanctity of life and reflects on the Gospel image at the heart of transplantation – one life given so another may live.

More than 55 thousand people have formally registered their objection to being considered organ donors when they die. New laws mean people are automatically considered donors unless they opt out. So far, 55,241 people have chosen to do this. The figures were provided by the HSE to Fianna Fail's Cormac Devlin following a parliamentary question. To go into this in more detail, Alan Morrissey was joined live on the line by Clare representative of the Irish Kidney Association Board of Directors and organ recipient, Sharon Fitzgerald.

The death of former New York Jets player Nick Mangold at 41 from kidney disease is putting the spotlight on organ donation. ABC's Jim Ryan tells us more.

“Fear comes from unanswered questions.” After donating one of his kidneys to his brother, Anil Srivatsa has become a devoted advocate for the life-saving impact of organ donation. Traveling the world, he's befriended countless other organ donors and recipients, all with complicated stories of their own. In this episode, you'll hear about Srivatsa's life as an advocate and a couple of stories from his friends.

October 24, 2025- In order to increase organ donations in the Empire State, state lawmakers want to allow close friends of a dead New Yorker to authorize an anatomical gift. We discuss this pending legislation and a new law expanding access to organ donation lists with Aisha Tator, executive director for Donate Life New York State.

Chris George—Associate Vice President for Enrollment at St. Olaf College—brings joy, grit, and a runner's curiosity to this conversation that has less to do with enrollment leadership than it does with living life fully. We trace his path from student life to directing financial aid on day one; how the Lawlor Summer Seminar jump-started a lifelong habit of building a board of experts; and why he asks his team to buy two coffees a year with people outside their lane. We detour to Japan (the Shimanami Kaidō ride), a sunrise stair run inside Athens' original Olympic stadium, and a family story that turns organ donation into triumph—culminating in a father–son-daughter triathlon three months post-transplant. (I'm not crying; you're crying.) We close with what Japan is doing about its own enrollment cliff and the best advice Chris ever got: understand why a process exists before you change it.Inspired by Chris's story?

We talk to a local immigration attorney about changes to work visas. We learn about the misconceptions around organ donation. We speak with the owners of La Finca Coffee House. And, we learn about two Milwaukee-area high schools that joined forces to create a football team.

In the US, signing up to be an organ donor is extremely easy (you just check a box when you apply for or renew your driver's license), and the program as a whole is credited with saving a large number of lives. However, recent scandals have cast a shadow on the way organ procurement operates some of these 'donors' may not have in fact been dead. Justin leads a discussion about whether a program which looks to be an unmitigated success might in fact be much more morally ambiguous than we previously thought. What should we do now?

Over 48,000 organ transplants happen each year in the U.S., but alarming new evidence shows that some donations begin before patients are truly dead More than 103,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants, but safety shortcuts in donor evaluation have raised serious questions about how the system operates In one case, a man declared brain-dead woke up on the operating table moments before his organs were to be harvested — exposing a massive failure in protocol The investigation uncovered that nearly 1 in 3 “approved not recovered” (ANR) donations showed neurological signs incompatible with legal death New reforms now require hospitals to halt organ procurement if any sign of life is present and mandate full reporting to federal regulators

How is a decades-old scientific tool that revolutionized organ transplantation now being used in cancer immunotherapy and autoimmune disease?In this episode of Science with a Twist, host Terri Somers talks to experts in immunogenetics and histocompatibility about human leukocyte antigens, or HLAs, which are biomarkers on our cells that provide crucial information about our immune system. HLAs have been used for decades now to match the right donated organ or cells to a patient in need. As science has gained a deeper understanding of the immune system, the utility of HLAs has expanded significantly, helping to transform healthcare.Guests-at-a-Glance Name: Marcelo Fernandez Vina

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Maureen A. Madden, DNP, RN, CPNP-AC, CCRN, FCCM, speaks with James R. Rodrigue, PhD, FAST, and Richard D. Hasz, MS, about their article, “Racial Equity in Family Approach for Patients Medically Suitable for Deceased Organ Donation,” published in the December 2024 issue of Critical Care Medicine. The study found racial equity in organ procurement organization (OPO) family approach among patients who were medically eligible for organ donation. Dr. Rodrigue and Mr. Hasz explain that previous studies showing racial disparity in family approach were based on 25- to 30-year-old data. The changes in organ donation systems since then were what motivated Dr. Rodrigue and Mr. Hasz to conduct new research. Their findings highlight the positive impact of standardized OPO practices on equitable access to organ donation opportunities. Dr. Rodrigue and Mr. Hasz emphasize the importance of timely referral, family-centered communication, and coordination between hospital teams and OPOs in facilitating donation conversations during emotionally charged moments. These practices complement advances in technology and expanded donor eligibility criteria to make more donations possible. Integrating organ donation information into driver education programs and expanding registration opportunities to settings such as voter registration can also help increase awareness and informed consent, especially among young people. Resources referenced in this episode:  Racial Equity in Family Approach for Patients Medically Suitable for Deceased Organ Donation (Rodrigue JR, et al. Crit Care Med. 2024;52:1877-1884).

This powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast reunites host Dee with Lucy, a Specialist Nurse in Organ Donation (SNOD), for a frank, myth-busting conversation about deceased organ donation in the UK. Four years after their first chat, Lucy returns to unpack what's changed since England moved to an opt-out system (May 2020), why families still have the final say, and how your conversation today can save lives tomorrow.   Dee & Lucy explore the realities behind Organ Donation Week, clarify the law and clinical safeguards (brain stem death and circulatory death), confront common misconceptions (like “doctors won't try to save me” or “they weren't really dead”), and spotlight the human impact—for grieving families and transplant recipients alike. You'll also hear practical, compassionate ways to start the donation conversation at home, how to nominate a key representative on the NHS Organ Donor Register, and why every single “yes” matters when only ~1% of deaths happen in circumstances suitable for organ donation—amid 8,000+ people waiting and only ~1,400 donors last year.   In this episode, you'll learn: •What the opt-out law really means (and doesn't): when it applies, why family consent is still required, and how to record an explicit opt-in. •How death is confirmed in the UK: independent teams, strict tests, and legal definitions (brain stem death & circulatory death). •The role of your family: why registered + discussed decisions lead to consent ~98% of the time—and how to make your wishes crystal clear. •Practical scripts & starters for talking about donation (from TV moments to family gatherings) and why even a short note/letter can help. •Benefits for families: meaning, comfort, and legacy during grief—plus how follow-up info (anonymised) can support healing. •Benefits for recipients: life-changing freedom from organ failure and dialysis—alongside a realistic look at immunosuppression. •Equity matters: why people from Black and Asian communities often wait longer, and how community champions and faith leaders can move the needle. •Suitability myths busted: age, past illness, blood-donation rules ≠ organ-donation rules—register and let clinicians assess. •Action steps for Organ Donation Week: register, nominate a key representative, talk to your loved ones, and share your decision.   Resources & next steps •NHS Organ Donation: www.organdonation.nhs.uk — learn the facts, read about faith & beliefs, register your decision, and nominate a representative via the site or NHS App. •Share your wishes today: tell your partner, parents, siblings, or closest friend exactly what you want—and ask them to support that decision.   If you'd accept an organ for yourself or someone you love, say “yes” to giving, too. Your voice could be the one that turns a tragedy into many tomorrows. Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:

The concept of "brain death," introduced in 1968 to enable organ harvesting, has never been proven equivalent to actual death — it merely defines an irreversible coma Documented cases exist of "brain dead" patients who were conscious, including some who mouthed "help me" as their organs were nearly harvested Global organ shortages have fueled a black market, with an estimated 5% to 20% of transplants involving illegal procurement and added pressure to lower diagnostic standards for “brain death” Recent federal investigations found serious failures in the U.S. organ donation system: 29.3% of reviewed cases showed troubling signs, and 20.8% of patients had neurologic activity incompatible with procurement — yet transplant coordinators still pushed to proceed Safer, ethical alternatives exist — such as natural therapies like DMSO that have revived “brain dead” patients and restored organ function, removing the need for transplant

Tonight on The Shipwreck Show, I'm joined by Erin Elizabeth (@unhealthytruth | healthnutnews.substack.com) to expose the dark side of organ donation. A shocking New York Times investigation revealed patients in Kentucky nearly had their organs removed—before showing signs of revival. We'll break down what this means for medical ethics, patient rights, and public trust. We'll also cover: RFK Jr. and the fight against censorship The MAHA movement and why it matters The battle for transparency in both media and medicine

Organ transplants save lives, but rushing into them could harm donors nearing the end of their own lives. Brian M. Rosenthal, investigative reporter at The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how some donors, thought to be deceased, have shown signs of life just before vital organ harvesting, why one particular harvesting method could be part of the problem, and how government regulation might up the risks.

A recent report from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reviewed 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, and found one hundred cases had what they called "concerning features." In some cases, donors were still showing neurological signs, indicating the organ procurement process began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The report led to shocking headlines, a congressional hearing, and many Americans questioning whether they could trust our country's organ donation system. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, the chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the alarming report, the process of organ transplants, and what they're doing to ensure that they're done properly. Dr. Lynch discussed what went wrong in the cases where the transplant process began too early, but also emphasized how well the system works generally and how it's vital to saving lives. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced America's AI action plan, emphasizing that the country must not allow China or any other nation to surpass it. The plan consists of three key components: accelerating innovation, building data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), co-chair of the U.S. Congressional Artificial Intelligence Task Force, joins the discussion to explore the framework and how the U.S. can win the AI race. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS) recently reviewed over 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which is now called Network for Hope, and found a disturbing trend. The report shows one hundred cases having what they called "concerning features," including examples of donors still showing neurological signs, and entailing that an organ procurement processes began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joins the podcast to discuss the report and how they are correcting specific organ transplant procedures.
