This alarming finding was announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who highlighted that some hospitals began organ procurement processes while patients still showed signs of life. The issue had previously been reviewed and dismissed without action by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network during the Biden administration. The vulnerable patients, mainly from small and rural hospitals, were affected due to systemic gaps in oversight and accountability. In response, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has mandated strict corrective measures and system-wide reforms to safeguard organ donors and improve reporting and standards nationwide. Kennedy emphasized the need for accountability and reform to ensure ethical treatment of all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-cheri-bustos-diverts-post-office-aid-cash-to-own-campaign\/\" title=\"Dem Cheri Bustos Diverts Post Office Aid Cash to Own Campaign\">potential donors<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of story that should make your stomach turn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/press-room\/hrsa-to-reform-organ-transplant-system.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to<\/a> the Department of Health and Human Services, dozens of organ donors may not have actually been dead when the donation process began.<\/p>\n<p>HHS Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hershey-gets-board-rfk-jr-announces-altering-candy-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert F.

More than two dozen people is not a statistic, but an outrage.<\/p>\n<p>These were vulnerable people, mostly in small, rural hospitals, who had no voice.<\/p>\n<p>Character, as is so often said, is what you do when no one is looking.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, some of the groups in charge of collecting organs saw an opportunity when no one was peering over their shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>And rather than raise alarms, the system looked the other way. Thankfully, Kennedy&rsquo;s team is demanding accountability.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Vulnerabilities were highest in smaller and rural hospitals, indicating systemic gaps in oversight and accountability,&rdquo; HHS said.<\/p>\n<p>HRSA has therefore &ldquo;mandated strict corrective actions&rdquo; for the organ procurement program, as well as &ldquo;system-level changes to safeguard potential organ donors nationally.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This is what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/unfathomable-failure-bidens-7-5-billion-ev-charger-plan-revealed-government-accountability-office-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government oversight<\/a> should look like: not regulating your gas stove or the length of the barrel of your family gun down to a fraction of an inch, but making sure your kidneys aren&rsquo;t harvested while you still have a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>HHS said it will now require reporting on any safety-related donation stoppages and is working to overhaul national standards.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy vowed, &ldquo;The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor&rsquo;s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s a start, as something so jarring should never and would never occur in a civilized country.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
