‘Alarming’ Reports Spark Concerns About America's Organ Donation System

Last week, President Donald Trump announced America's AI action plan, emphasizing that the country must not allow China or any other nation to surpass it. The plan consists of three key components: accelerating innovation, building data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), co-chair of the U.S. Congressional Artificial Intelligence Task Force, joins the discussion to explore the framework and how the U.S. can win the AI race. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently reviewed over 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which is now called Network for Hope, and found a disturbing trend. The report shows one hundred cases having what they called "concerning features," including examples of donors still showing neurological signs, and entailing that an organ procurement processes began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joins the podcast to discuss the report and how they are correcting specific organ transplant procedures.
