When does a man truly die? Strong conversation with Father Jack Norkowski

Modern medicine, though highly advanced, is highly dismissive of life and death. By disposing of large knowledge, she could effectively save lives. However, this experience is frequently utilized to justify the request to kill a man. About erstwhile a man truly dies and how the issue of life and death is addressed by contemporary medicine with Father Jacek Norkowski OP spoke Arkadiusz Stelmach in the program "Revolution and Controvolution" on the PCh24.TV channel.

The guest of the program mentioned how his vocations developed – after all, Father Norkowski is simply a clergyman and doctor of medical science. He mentioned here, among others, a bioethic course in the US, where the problem of vegetative condition was discussed and whether people could be separated from irrigation and feeding food through a food probe, de facto condemning the patient to slow death. As Fr Norkowski mentioned, although it was a Catholic centre, the view was that "we let the sick to die in a situation where there is no rescue for him" – "we let the natural course of events, or the sick to die".

– And for a while, I even gave in. I thought they taught me well here. Until I abruptly experienced something so individually that it wasn't actual that they were surviving people. It's like I hear their quiet voice that we're alive and that we can't do it, that they're surviving people, first of all. He mentioned it.

Then Fr Norkowski came across a group of people who fought to guarantee that the sick ones did not deprive the basic things, that is feeding and watering. They stressed that this is simply a human right and that this cannot be done with any sick person.

– I saw how immense problems are in medicine then, and in a minute I noticed that the problem begins even earlier, that it concerns patients who have a brain injury and in the first stage, if they are in a coma and will have apnea, then they can be considered dead and taken from them organs! due to the fact that that's more or little the criteria for brain stem death, or brain death, adopted worldwide in these 2 versions. He stressed. – And all of a sudden, I saw that it was false medicine, that it wasn't technological at all, nor real, nor ethically good, but that's what serves any purpose. – he added.

As he explained, in the first case, erstwhile it comes to vegetative status, it was primarily about reducing costs – you don't gotta take care of specified patients. In the second case, patients immediately after the accident have brain swelling and fast detection of death on the basis of neurological criteria, mainly for the intent of obtaining organs for transplantation.

Over time, specified doubts in the planet of medicine came more. – Pretty soon, I saw something unusual going on with the vaccines. - He said. Adepts of medical art were taught that vaccines had stopped the epidemic, then evidence appeared that epidemics were dying naturally, along with an increase in the standard of surviving in Europe before vaccines were introduced. – The introduction of vaccines has sometimes caused an outbreak to recur, due to the fact that that is frequently the effect of vaccines, which is evidently not mentioned. That was another problem. And another – that medicine is simply a field where large capital dominates, specified a sad discovery that began to deform it – he added.

So cognition loses to factors coming from outside the field of medicine – in another words with money. – Here you can see that the interests of the sick person, this Roman regulation – "salus aegroti suprema lex" – that the welfare of the sick individual or the wellness of the sick individual is the highest law, does not necessarily prevail, does not always prevail. But sometimes large companies can win. And that's a powerful problem, we're already dealing with it. Many people have seen this since the “pandemic” that unusual things can happen – stressed Dr. Norkowski.

The guest of the program was besides asked what these large ancient philosophers today, headed by Hippocrates, would think of modern medicine and its approach to the patient?

– I think they'd be amazed by the fresh definitions of death, which sound like death is permanent unconsciousness coupled with irreversible failure of brain stem consciousness. And it's adequate for them to hear it and see what happens to a patient who's been diagnosed with death in this way, that they're then doing a de facto vivisection on it, taking organs. I think any ancient doctor would be completely shocked by the fact that, of course, the method itself would surprise him. But technology does not obscure the fact that these doctors besides knew what surgery is, what it means to operate sick. And they truly could tell the difference between a patient surviving and a dead patient. - He said.

– And I'm certain they wouldn't think of a patient as dead, who even has a failure of consciousness, who has average blood supply, has a heart, where you can see all the reactions, and pains, and so on. To say that this is simply a dead man would surely origin a tremendous astonishment in all doctor in the past. In our case, it abruptly turns out that if individual is amazed and does so loudly, they will tell him that he does not know modern medical cognition and that he will be suspended from the right to prosecute a medical profession, at least for a year, if he does not improve, for longer, or forever. due to the fact that he doesn't see things the way he should. We have come to the conclusion that individual changes any basic things in medicine and in all of our social life, defining freely, according to the needs of transplantation really, the death of a man and demands that we believe all of this, that it is death, that an unconscious man who does not breathe alone, is dead – he added.

Meanwhile, as Fr Norkowski pointed out, these people are being treated! And then it reaches 60-70% of the good results of this process. – Many of these people get out of the infirmary and postgraduate later. And we have plenty of cases like this. So we're not expected to see these cases? And we're expected to believe that they're the sick people who are the ones who get distant with government? We came to this in the 21st century, before, in the late 20th century – he stressed.
