2009-07-24 | The arrests of rabbis who trafficked body parts uncover more complicated issues.
'I asked him what he thought about the rabbis trafficking organs. '
'Enter the Halachic Organ Donor Society, a nonprofit whose mission is to dispel the myth that Jewish law opposes organ donation. '
'But most mainstream American rabbis agree on one thing: Organ donation is not only allowed but is considered something to strive for. '
'On that level, it actually doesn’t surprise me to find out rabbis were trafficking organs. '
'But Jewish law, just like secular legal theory, is filled with judicial loopholes. '

This story is anti semitic. My lawyer and long time friend Mr. Louis Rosenthal will hear of this.
there is the fiction of brain death that allows the cutting apart of the still living body to harvest organs. This "harvest" is preceded by the injection of drugs which paralyze the body, which would otherwise writhe and contort on the operating table.
NOTE: the drug paralyses it does not anesthetize
