I'm sure most or all of you have seen something about this video of the Planned Parenthood doctor talking about tissue donation. I haven't had a chance to watch the whole video, so I'm not going to comment on exactly what was said and the context. I came across this CNN article that seems to have done a decent job covering it. http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/15/health/planned-parenthood-undercover-video/ One part caught my attention...

Caplan also was concerned about another part of the video where Nucatola talks about doctors doing abortions in which ultrasound is used to know where to grab the fetus with forceps.


"We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver because we know that, I'm not going to crush that part," the doctor says.

Caplan told CNN's Elizabeth Cohen that altering procedures in order to get tissue in the best condition would be a "big no-no."


"In abortion the primary goal is to give the safest abortion possible," he said. "Your sole concern has to be the mother and her health."


He said there's a parallel in patient care: When someone is dying, doctors shouldn't change how they treat the patient in order to harvest good tissue for donation after death.


Doctors should treat the patient as they normally would, and then use whatever is available after death. If a provider is considering how to get the tissue that's in the best shape, "that's a huge conflict of interest. ... If you modify how someone dies, that's unethical."


Thoughts?
