EP 187: Signs of Life: what you should know about the organ donation process with Heidi Klessig

Organ donation is always a universal good... right? This conversation is the type that has the potential to completely challenge previously held beliefs. RFK issued a press release on July 21, 2025 showing how troubled the process of organ donation is. They found a large number of cases where the procurement process began even with neurological “signs of life.” This has us revisiting a very important conversation and asking some necessary questions.

Are brain-dead patients TRULY brain dead? Are the organs being harvested from someone who REALLY has no life left in them? Heidi Klessig, MD, tells us her own story and how she came to have her own beliefs challenged, and explains why she is now dedicated to the informed consent of all registered organ donors, those considering donating their organs, their families, and the recipients of transplanted organs. The question we all really need to ask is... When is somebody truly dead?
