General Discussion

(either heart or brain death). If they are providing palliative care, the patient was not dead, and no procurement would happen until they were dead.
So no, they were not proposing using heroic measures to save the patient's life. They were taking the necessary steps to preserve the viability of the organs of a person who had already died, and who had chosen to allow their organs to be used by others. To be viable, oxygen-enriched blood must continue circulating, but that is not life. I doubt the organ procurement group use the words "to continue life support," since that isn't what is happening after brain death - and no one even minimally trained in procurement would use that inflammatory language.
