The US Department of Health and Human Services said Monday that it's undertaking an initiative to reform the country's organ donation system, after a federal investigation found that one organization in the Kentucky region began the process to take organs from people who may not have been dead.

In 2021, 33-year-old TJ Hoover was hospitalized after a drug overdose. He woke up in the operating room to find people shaving his chest, bathing his body in surgical solution and talking about harvesting his organs. Earlier that day, a doctor had declared him brain-dead, according to his medical records, even though he seemed to be reacting to stimuli, making eye contact and shaking his head.

Former staffers of the organ procurement organization who were involved in Hoover's case raised concerns that he wasn't brain-dead and should not have been on the operating table. The concerns were ignored, according to the federal investigation.

My daughter told me about this a few years ago and I didn't believe her. Now I do.
