• Parents Say Hospital Took Son's Organs Without Consent

  A set of distraught parents say their son should have survived surgery after a snowboarding accident, but he was suffocated by healthcare workers so they could take his organs.  Pretty heady charges, especially for a hospital - you know, the people who take an oath to "first do no harm."  Although there isn't enough information out there to tell whether the hospital is actually guilty of suffocating Gregory Jacobs, the debate over whether the hospital had rights to move in and take his organs is the one parents need to focus on.

She says doctors spent twenty minutes trying to stabilize him before a nurse wrapped him in a blanket and let her hold his dead body (the picture above was taken then, it's the only link she has to the little boy).

  By all accounts, it was a parental nightmare. Anthony Myers Sr. told a New Jersey life insurance agent he'd lost his seven-year-old son to a fatal asthma attack. Are tears pricking in the corners of your eyes yet? Don't bother. The boy is now ten and lives in North Carolina with his mother. His dad? Will have to spend five years on probation and likely cough up his own cash. Read More...
