The Speaker Salon interviews two doctors and a theologian on the topic of organ harvesting and the controversies surrounding brain death diagnostics. Dr. Heidi Klessig, author of The Brain Death Fallacy shares about her career as an anaesthesiologist and why she was needed in the operating room to administer anaesthesia to a man who was pronounced dead.

Michael Arthur Vacca, a legal scholar and bioethicist, gives a philosophical argument for personhood beyond utility and why organ transplants as currently practiced amount to euthanasia and predatory exploitation of the most vulnerable. https://christmedicus.org
Dr. Paul Byrne, a pioneer in the field of neonatology gives his account as a critical care medical doctor over the decades since organ transplants were first becoming possible. His case studies and personal battles with the medical journals warrant deeper reflection as to the legitimacy of a brain death diagnosis, and how you can protect yourself in case of an emergency.
