When does organ donation cross the line? In this episode of Cocktails & Conspiracies, Shane Skwarek and Tim Philipps uncover the chilling allegations surrounding the New Jersey Organ and Tissue Sharing Network—where whistleblowers claim a patient reanimated on the operating table moments before organ harvesting was set to begin.

This deep dive explores the darker side of organ donation, the ethics of Donation After Circulatory Death (DCD), and how financial incentives inside the healthcare system can push medical professionals toward morally questionable decisions. With real cases, global statistics, and firsthand reports, Shane and Tim examine the rise of organ harvesting conspiracies, the booming black market for organs, and the growing demand that fuels transplant tourism worldwide.

They break down why over 100,000 Americans remain on the transplant waiting list, how organ scarcity creates pressure that bends rules, and why oversight and regulation often fail to protect vulnerable patients. Whether you're curious about medical ethics, whistleblower claims, or the hidden economics behind organ procurement, this episode exposes the uncomfortable truths many avoid discussing.
