一名肯塔基男子在2019年几乎被宣布死亡,在一名医生不顾家庭同意停止切除器官后幸存下来,这引起了全国对器官捐赠协议的关注。 A man shot in the head in 2019 was nearly declared dead for organ donation but survived after a doctor disputed the diagnosis.

2019年,22岁的Larry Black Jr.在头部中弹后几乎被宣布死亡,其器官预定摘除,但一名神经外科医生干预,辩称他不是脑死亡,仍然有生命迹象。 In 2019, 22-year-old Larry Black Jr. was nearly declared dead and had his organs scheduled for removal after being shot in the head, but a neurosurgeon intervened, arguing he was not brain-dead and still showed signs of life. 尽管得到家庭同意,医生还是停止了手术,现在28岁的Black在作为音乐家工作时,在行走、说话和抚养三个孩子方面,已经恢复了很大程度。 Despite family consent, the doctor stopped the procedure, and Black, now 28, has since recovered significantly, walking, talking, and raising three children while working as a musician. 他记得听到他的名字并试图回应。 He recalls hearing his name and trying to respond. 他的案件引起了对器官捐赠协议的关切,包括病人在器官取回前显示神经活动的报告。 His case has raised concerns about organ donation protocols, including reports of patients showing neurological activity before organ retrieval. 联邦调查了肯塔基州一个非营利组织 发现73名病人 尽管有生命迹象 仍被安排捐赠 A federal probe into a Kentucky nonprofit found 73 patients were slated for donation despite signs of life, fueling calls for stronger safeguards. 虽然器官移植每年节省数千人——2024年超过48,000人——但这一事件突出表明,需要严格的医疗和道德标准,以确保在捐赠前准确确定死亡。 While organ transplants save thousands each year—over 48,000 in 2024—this incident highlights the need for strict medical and ethical standards to ensure death is accurately determined before donation.
