Success Books What you should know about organ donation
This book is the most comprehensive and informative guide to organ donation. It's perfect for anyone who wants to register, has already registered, is unsure, or wants to change their registration.
No one can be against helping a seriously ill person. That's why in the Netherlands, some 3.5 million people have registered a "yes" to the question: "Are you willing to donate your organs after your death to help someone sick live on?"

But this question isn't quite right. It should be:

Are you willing to donate your organs, even if you're certain you're still alive, but have been declared brain dead because your body (i.e., brain) no longer responds to certain stimuli? Are you willing to be cut open without anesthesia, even though there's a good chance you'll feel everything and could possibly have regained consciousness before the operation?

If the last question were asked, few people would register and very few organs would end up in the medical circuit.

Thousands of people have registered as organ donors with the best of intentions, based on the ongoing, uninformative campaigns. Their intentions are pure.

When Ger Lodewick started writing this book, his motivation was to provide information that would prevent even more people from making decisions based on untruths and incorrect information, which could later leave them feeling guilty.

While maintaining compassion for a seriously ill person who desires another organ, Ger Lodewick has spent years researching the issues surrounding organ donation from the perspective of the donor and their families. In this research, he draws on information from medical experts such as specialists, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and others, as well as interviews with donors' families.

The results of his research can be confronting for those who have little or no prior knowledge of this topic, and for the relatives of organ donors. Lodewick is well aware of this and hopes that these people will not perceive this book as an accusation. Based on the knowledge available at the time, a record was created or a decision made.

This knowledge was based on the quicksand of incorrect information provided by a number of specialists in the field of organ transplantation and by the government, which allows someone to be declared dead who is not.

This book, with a candid and compelling foreword by renowned cardiologist Pim van Lommel (author of the bestseller "Endless Consciousness"), is not intended as a guide to choices, but as a source of information. Make your own choices, using all the information available to you, and don't be misled by well-oiled marketing campaigns.

“No one should be harmed, even if some good might come of it to others.”

— Edmund D. Pellegrino
professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics

The fundamental problem is that you can't transplant organs from a truly dead person. Hence the attempts to redefine 'death' as ​​'brain death' just to make transplantation possible.
