RFK Jr. disbands Kentucky organ donation group for coerced harvesting

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the decertification of a Kentucky organ donation nonprofit. A yearlong federal investigation concluded the organization violated patient rights and safety by pursuing organ harvesting without confirming donor death. The group is being shut down after reports emerged that it continued retrieval plans for patients who unexpectedly showed signs of life. Although the specific surgeries were canceled, the federal government cited critical safety failures in the group's operations.
