The US government has done some shady things in the past. But this is beyond the pale.
Now RFK Jr. exposed a disturbing cover-up of government organ harvesting.
HHS Under RFK Jr. Launches Sweeping Organ Procurement Reforms
On July 20, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced a comprehensive reform to address alarming findings in the organ procurement process, ensuring the sanctity of life is upheld.
An investigation by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) revealed that a federally funded organ procurement organization (OPO) in Kentucky, serving parts of Ohio and West Virginia, initiated organ harvesting on patients showing signs of life.
Kennedy, a staunch advocate for ethical medical practices, called the discovery “horrifying,” emphasizing the need to protect vulnerable patients.
The investigation, which reopened a case previously closed under the Biden administration, examined 351 incomplete organ donation cases, finding that 103 (29.3%) involved “concerning features,” including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation.
At least 28 patients may not have been deceased when procurement began, raising serious ethical and legal concerns. Kennedy’s leadership in exposing and addressing these violations underscores his commitment to restoring trust in the organ transplant system.
Investigation Uncovers Systemic Ethical Lapses
The HRSA’s probe, initiated at Kennedy’s direction, identified systemic issues in the OPO’s practices, including inadequate neurologic assessments, poor coordination with medical teams, questionable consent processes, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.
The HHS release described a “systemic disregard for [the] sanctity of life in [the] organ transplant system,” highlighting Kennedy’s focus on prioritizing patient rights and ethical standards.
The investigation stemmed from a case involving “potentially preventable harm” to a neurologically injured patient, which Kennedy insisted be reexamined to ensure accountability.
His proactive approach has led to mandated reforms, including system-wide safeguards to protect potential donors and specific corrective actions for the OPO.
Congressional and Public Focus on Restoring Trust
The HHS’s findings have prompted broader scrutiny, with the House of Representatives scheduling a subcommittee meeting on July 22, 2025, to address organ donation safety lapses and discuss improvements to rebuild public confidence.
Kennedy’s leadership has elevated the issue, aligning with his long-standing advocacy for medical ethics and accountability.
The reforms aim to strengthen oversight, improve consent practices, and ensure accurate medical assessments, addressing the 103 problematic cases identified, including the 28 where organ procurement may have begun prematurely.
Public and congressional attention reflects the gravity of the issue, with Kennedy’s influence pushing for a system that honors the sanctity of life while supporting the critical role of organ donation.
