...Organs can not be used when the heart stops beating and the person is truly dead.

That is not correct; cadaver donors have been in practice since 1995. I know this because I recall the television profile of Michael Mastromarino, who made $4.7 million over four years by illegally obtaining bodies and selling body parts to hospitals and other health-care providers for transplant into unsuspecting patients.

Unfortunately, a person's brain still works for a bit even after their heart stops beating.

For the benefit of those reading, I say: All people continue to think, even if the heart stops beating and the brain dies. Even with no flesh at all, a soul continues to think and to be aware it exists, for ever. Many people pass from this life to the next and are shocked to continue thinking, and yet they have no strength, are weak and unable to do anything, because they did not acquire for themselves spiritual strength during this life.

How to acquire for yourselves riches for the spiritual life, so you may have strength: Perform kind deeds for your fellow man. Keep the Royal Law, as taught by God: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I mean you don't pass away the second your heart stops beating. So even a "dead" person could still feel being harvested.

Keep the Royal Law, as taught by God

You know nothing about the New Testament if you think it's all about law. It's almost entirely against it. Actually a lot of the Old Testament has that hidden meaning as well.

That first link describes how medical workers in India try to convince family members of "brain dead" patients to donate their organs while their heart is still beating. This supports Victoria's claim: "Brain dead is a medical term created to make it easy to harvest organs from bodies that are still technically alive."

The second source you gave /archived/ does not say anything about organ harvesting, but does talk about tissue collection:

Tissue from bodies that are donated can be “recovered, sterilized and turned into medical products,” Veins can be used for heart bypass operations or a tendon could be used to repair a torn knee ligament, for example.

Veins and tendons are not organs. The article does not say anything about performing organ transplants, like with kidneys or heart, from a cadaver.
