While at an international level there is a call for a suspension of donation in cardio-circulatory arrest, as “cardiac death” can be reversible, in Italy where it is illegal (L.91/99) they are practicing it, "Quatti Quatti", in various hospitals. Tactics of fait accompli (not reported nor prosecuted thanks to hidden complicity) to then obtain the legalization without debate of a predatory "custom".. Below is the summary of an international research.

“Donation after cardiovascular death: a request for a moratorium pending the opening of a public debate and a fully informed consensus

Ari R Joffe, Joe Carcillo, Natalie Anton, Allan deCaen, Yong Y Han, Michael J Bell, Frank A Maffei, John Sullivan, James Thomas and Gonzalo Garcia-Guerra

Many believe that the ethical problems related to donation after cardiac death (DCD, Donation Cardiocirculatory Death) they were “resolved” and that it is not clear why donation after cardiac death should be rejected. In this paper we will argue that non-beating heart donors may not yet be dead, and therefore that the donation of organs from people in cardiac arrest may contravene the rule of donation after death.

PARENTS SIGN TO DONATE ORGANS
BUT THE SON WAKES UP

Trenton McKinley, a little boy of 13 Alabama years (USA), considered "brain dead" he woke up from a coma shortly after his parents had signed the form authorizing the removal of his organs.

Last March Trenton was at a friend's house playing with a trailer towed by a car, after a sudden stop, he found himself catapulted onto the concrete and the trailer, overturned, it landed on top of him, hitting him on the head: seven skull fractures and severe brain trauma.
Hospitalized at the USA Medical Center, he was placed on life-sustaining ventilation and had to go through a series of dramatic tests: craniotomia, 4 cardiac arrests one of these lasting for 15 minutes, renal failure. At this point the doctors told the parents that their son would never return to "normal" and if he woke up he would remain in a vegetative state and that if he had another cardiac arrest, it would have been better to “let him go”.
