ORGAN TRANSPLANTS ; "body snatchers"
TOO SOON "dead" "Traffiking in the souls of men " --Rev. 18 : 13

Traffiking in Body Parts ... the reason for beheadings
Body Merchants -- an Abomination
Ed: In February 2006 in California, the issue of lethal injection was questioned. We look for the outcome to terminate all lethal injections for criminals
( and then later on for "dissidents" ) and for the death penalty ( "capital punishment" ) to be beheadings. After a person is beheaded, his body parts can be traffiked for profit.
" Wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles ( vultures ) be gathered together." -- Matthew 24:28

Vatican prefers "brain-death" to cardiac-death, so more transplants can take place -- Sept. 4, 2008
The Vatican accepts organ transplantation and the brain death standard, which is widely used in Catholic hospitals. Declaring the brain death criterion un-Catholic would mean those hospitals would have to revert to the cardiac death standard alone. But that leaves a much smaller window for removing viable organs and would make one kind of transplantation — heart transplants — all but impossible. As it is, there is already such a shortage of organs for transplantation that scandalous black markets for them exist and some experts want to see organs sold like commodities on an open market.

5 minutes later, the organ-snatchers come -- June 9, 2008

Ed: They most likely will have to deliver your body parts by Extremely-Fast Airmail ... and we all know that
the U.S. Mail Dept. has an eagle as its logo. So is this what is meant by
" and where the carcass is , there will the eagles be gathered." ? Matthew 24: 28
Is this why Elijah and all those raptured will not leave a body behind ?

Without Consent -- June 22, 2008 ... the abomination of expediency ; the horror of 'pragmatism'.
"With a waiting list for organs 8,000 patients long, and 1,000 people dying each year due to organ unavailability, the U.K. has announced plans to overhaul its organ donation system. As part of this new effort, doctors and nurses will be pressured to identify more organ donors ahead of time and to alert organ donation coordinators as patients approach death. The government seeks to appoint a doctor in each hospital as a donation "champion," to be paired with a lay person who can do outreach on the topic.
The government admits that a conflict of interest might occur when doctors are encouraged to view still-living patients as potential organ sources.

Taking body parts before person is dead -- Aug. 14, 2008
90 second heartbeat or else
Doctors are locked in debate over a new approach to infant heart transplants, in which surgeons remove the organs of babies before they are declared brain dead.
But others say the practice devalues one life to try and save another. The protocol, known as transplantation after declaration of cardiocirculatory death (DCD),
their infant's organs could be removed about a minute-and-a-half after the heart stops beating

Cadavers, Body parts and Implants -- Oct. 5, 2007
Three Philadelphia funeral directors led a scheme in which more than 1,000 cadavers were dismembered in unsanitary conditions and the parts sold to doctors who implanted them in patients, a grand jury charged on Thursday.
At least five Philadelphia-area hospitals, and 41 across Pennsylvania, implanted tissue from Biomedical Tissue Services, the company run by Mastromarino, according to the report.
Bodies at the funeral homes often sat for days without refrigeration before the tissue was harvested. One corpse sat for 113 hours after death, violating a medical protocol that tissue must be harvested within 15 hours of death to be safe for use in a living person, the report said

Demand exceeds supply -- April 1, 2007
Big Bucks Industry
Geneva, April 1 (AP): Demand for human organ transplants far exceeds supply
WHO encourages countries to make use more of the organs of their own deceased people rather than let citizens buy them from developing countries
In Western countries, package deals are advertised on the Internet ranging from USD 12,000 to USD 20,000 to receive a kidney
and seven days of hospitalisation in a transplant country, Moazam said.

"Death" comes sooner than expected, for organ transplanting -- March 12, 2008
The bill declares that lower-brain death and the halt of breathing can be determined solely by a pair of doctors authorized by a steering committee appointed by the director-general of the Health Ministry.
Halevy estimated that when the bill became law, the number of ADI registrants as potential organ donors would rise by 10 percent to 20%, and this would be significant.

Death Penalty
Instead, Rushford said he supports using carbon monoxide, which he described as being "simple, fast, and painless."
Chapman disagreed with that assessment. But he had another idea. "The simplest thing I know of is the guillotine. And I'm not at all opposed to bringing it back. The person's head is cut off and that's the end of it."
Comment from Blaze4him --RR MB
In Bible prophecy we see the very real possibility exists that the guillotine is going to be reintroduced as a means to put people to death in the Tribulation Period in Revelation 20:4:
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years"

Traffiking in the souls of men Rev. 18: 13
China's Body Parts from religous persons -- July 22, 2006
On the other hand, last year a Chinese health official admitted that the organs of executed prisoners were being sold to foreigners. A new Chinese law now prohibits taking organs without written permission -- even as China has launched a new fleet of execution vans that are turning lethal injection into a movable feat.
There is no question that China is persecuting Falun Gong members. In 2004, the U.S. State Department reported that, "tens of thousands of practitioners remained incarcerated in prisons, extrajudicial re-education-through-labor camps and psychiatric facilities.

China has seen a steep rise in organ transplants over the past six years -- from 18,500 in six-year period 1994 to 1999 -- to 60,000 in 2000 to 2005. (That figure was extrapolated from the China Medical Organ Transplant Association.) With no sign of a rise in the number of brain-dead donors and family members donating organs, the report found, "the source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained."
According to the report, one transplant doctor volunteered to a caller that he had 10 "beating hearts" available at his hospital. If Western democracies do nothing; if they continue allow their citizens to buy Chinese organs from unwilling donors, the developing world threatens to devolve into one big organ bazaar -- with human life itself as a hot commodity available to the highest bidder.
