Death Panels? NYC Will Send Ambulances to Save Organs of People Deemed Likely to Die | CNSnews.com: "(CNSNews.com) - Some 911 Calls in Manhattan will bring out two ambulances, one hurrying to the scene in an attempt to save the patient's life, and the other arriving to save the patient's organs in case the person dies, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
'After months of grappling with the ethical and legal implications, New York City medical officials are beginning to test a system that they hope will one day greatly increase the number of organs collected for transplant,' the newspaper reported.
According to the newspaper, 'a specially trained team' will monitor 911 calls for people 'who may be in danger of dying,' such as those having a heart attack. It's the first system of its kind in the U.S."
