  Disagree. They made a corpse deliver a baby against the family’s wishes. The people in charge are pure evil

    That’s not physically possable.
    I think you have a different idea what corpse is.

        Good, bad, fascist, whatever, doesn’t matter, to a disagreement on nomenclature. A biologically functioning body with a working ATP cycle, isn’t a corpse.

        How does this have upvotes? Calling someone fascist for thinking a living body isn’t a corpse? Man this place is such a shit hole sometimes.

        If brain death is dead, single cell organisms are dead.

  Shit, it’s Kentucky hospital too…

  They’re not exactly the best at making that whole “alive or dead” call.

  Natasha Miller says she was getting ready to do her job preserving donated organs for transplantation when the nurses wheeled the donor into the operating room.

  She quickly realized something wasn’t right. Though the donor had been declared dead, he seemed to her very much alive.

  “He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed,” Miller told NPR in an interview. “And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly.”

  The donor’s condition alarmed everyone in the operating room at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Ky., including the two doctors, who refused to participate in the organ retrieval, she says.

  "The procuring surgeon, he was like, ‘I’m out of it. I don’t want to have anything to do with it,’ " Miller says. “It was very chaotic. Everyone was just very upset.”

  Miller says she overheard the case coordinator at the hospital for her employer, Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), call her supervisor for advice.

  "So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to ‘find another doctor to do it’ – that, ‘We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,’ " Miller says. “And she’s like, ‘There is no one else.’ She’s crying — the coordinator — because she’s getting yelled at.”

  They will if they’re getting leaned on politically, but you are right in that he’s not sitting in a bed, they’ll just shove him into the morge if they have one.

    Nothing political about it…

    He can be “alive” like Terry Schiavo

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Schiavo_case

    And they can likely keep him like that for years, because it’s machines doing all the work.

    No one can pressure the hospital to do anything, as long as the checks keep clearing, they’ll keep the machines running.

    What can (and is) being done, is the Governor requesting proof that McConnell is capable of fulfilling his duties from McConnell’s office

    They want to stall till August 4th, because if McConnell is declared incompetent before then, it triggers a special election which allows Maise to run as an independent after losing the Republican primary.

    On 8/4/26 they can say McConnell is incompetent to hold office, and the normal election will happen which Maise can’t run in.

    This entire show is because Trump doesn’t want Maise to run, because if he does a Dem will likely win and if not it’ll be Maise.

    But Beshar (KY governor) asking for Mitch’s status is what prompted all the Republicans to spend 20 minutes talking at his unresponsive body over a phone. That’s why they reacted

    Every hospital has a morgue. They deal with too many dead people daily, they aren’t going to be moving them out every time someone dies.

    Besides, they won’t leave bodies sitting in beds they could use for living, paying, patients.

  They aren’t going to let him rot. That isn’t connected to the possibility of him ever regaining consciousness whether a replacement is called for.

  I don’t think anyone here thinks he’s literally just sitting out on a hospital bed flat lined.

    No, but there’s a decent chance he might be laying in a morgue fridge in the basement.
