...the American College of Physicians (ACP) has just published a new position paper on transplant ethics. This paper reminds physicians that patient care is their primary duty, and that end-of-life decision making must center around the best interests of these individual patients — not the interests of other people who might benefit from their organs. “It is unethical, before the declaration of death, to use any treatments or interventions aimed at preserving organs or assessing their suitability for donation that may harm the still-living patient by causing pain, causing traumatic injury, or shortening the patient’s life.” It has even been suggested that (in order to procure a good-quality organ) DCD donors donate their kidneys before their life-sustaining care is withdrawn. Certainly, undergoing surgery to remove a kidney qualifies as a painful procedure, and would definitely violate the ACP’s position paper on transplant ethics. But currently, personnel with no medical training at the Department of Motor Vehicles routinely ask drivers if they would like to become organ donors without providing any information to guide people in their decision making. Most people learn about organ donation via slogans and tax payer-funded public service announcements, such as “Give the Gift of Life!” The HRSA’s website glossary defines brain death this way: “Brain death occurs when the brain is totally and irreversibly non-functional. Brain death is caused by not enough blood supply of oxygen which causes the brain cells to die.” This definition is incorrect because the latest (2023) American Academy of Neurology (AAN) brain death guideline explicitly states that brain death may be declared in the presence of ongoing brain function. Also, the AAN guideline has been shown to be unable to predict irreversibility, as in the case of Jahi McMath and others who have recovered from a brain death diagnosis which was made according to the guideline. True death is an irreversible state. Brain death has been shown to be reversible and is not true death. DCD donors could be resuscitated but have been given a “do not resuscitate” order – therefore while they could be resuscitated, a decision has been made not to do so. These people’s organs are removed a mere 2-5 minutes after they become pulseless. But it is well documented that people are routinely resuscitated within this short timeframe, and people have spontaneously recovered a heartbeat up to ten minutes following cardiac arrest with complete recovery. If you could still be resuscitated, you were never dead. This is why some people have been found to have beating hearts when their breastbones were sawed open for organ donation... Until the ethical problems identified by the ACP’s position paper are remedied, and correct information is provided to allow fully informed consent, registering as an organ donor will remain hazardous.

The EndoArt device, invented by Israeli cornea surgeon Dr. Ofer Daphna and developed by EyeYon Medical, marks a turning point for the more than 13 million people worldwide waiting for corneal transplants that may never come. “This is a genuine breakthrough offering hope to patients awaiting corneal transplants, especially those who have exhausted all other options,” said Professor Arie Marcovich, Head of the Ophthalmology Department at Kaplan Medical Center. “The new implant developed by EyeYon Medical offers him and many others the opportunity to see again without the need for a human donor cornea. This is particularly important in Israel, where waiting lists for corneal transplants can extend for months or even years.” Israel has become a global leader in medical innovation, producing breakthroughs that save lives far beyond its borders. From cancer treatments to surgical techniques, Israeli ingenuity addresses critical health challenges with solutions that combine scientific excellence and practical application. The EndoArt implant is the latest example of how a small nation continues to reshape modern medicine. The restoration of sight to the blind is a humanitarian triumph, but it is also a sign explicitly connected to the messianic age. When describing the era of redemption, the prophet Isaiah declares: “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped” (Isaiah 35:5). The verse offers no metaphor, no allegory. The blind will see. The deaf will hear. Physical ailments that have plagued humanity will be eliminated. President Trump on Thursday announced another deal to cut pharmaceutical costs for Americans with most favored nation (MFN) pricing on popular drugs for diabetes, heart disease, and weight loss, and other conditions. According to the White House, “The agreement represents a historic reduction in prices for Americans on the two drugs with the highest annual expenditures in the United States, both of which help adults struggling with diabetes, heart disease (Ozempic and Wegovy only), obesity, and other conditions.” The drugs will be available on TrumpRX.com, a federal government website that will help patients buy drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies without using insurance, at massively discounted prices, in line with what other countries pay for the same drugs. “This is very exciting. Again, we’re bringing drug prices down to levels nobody ever thought was possible. Tremendous cuts, 200%, 300%, 500%, 700%, a little bit more than that,” Trump said while making the announcement earlier this afternoon. “So today, I’m thrilled to announce that the two world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, have agreed to offer their most popular GLP-1 weight loss drug— I call it the fat drug, remember— at drastic discounts.” RFK Jr. sounds the alarm: the evening news isn’t just a broadcast - it’s a billion-dollar echo chamber for corporate interests. As 'Camus' writes in a post on X, according to insiders, pharmaceutical giants bankroll up to 75% of ad revenue for TV news, flooding broadcasts with a barrage of drug commercials. On a typical night, 17 out of 22 ads push pharmaceutical products directly to older viewers, the biggest spenders on prescriptions. But the influence doesn’t stop with advertising. RFK Jr. reveals that top anchors, like Anderson Cooper, earn staggering salaries - reportedly $20 million annually - with most of that money flowing from pharma-linked sponsorships. When COVID hit, news content bent to fit the profit-driven narrative: anchors pushed fear, shamed dissent, and plastered daily death counts across screens, solidifying government orthodoxy that ultimately boosted their advertisers’ bottom lines. Younger generations aren’t tuning in. RFK Jr.’s own son, age 28, has never watched the evening news - he gets information elsewhere, free from pharma’s marketing grip. Yet millions still absorb daily broadcasts shaped by drug and food company agendas. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/rfk-jr-exposes-big-pharmas-stranglehold-american-media Five Doves, Chance (16 Nov 2025) https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2025/chance1116-2.htm
