(206 posts)This is the answer from Google AI to the question about keeping a braindead person on life-support
...you cannot legally keep a brain-dead person on life support indefinitely. Under the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) and laws across all U.S. states, brain death is legally and medically recognized as death]. Once declared brain dead, the individual is deceased, and artificial support cannot reverse the condition.
That would turn this from a family tragedy into a Republican scandal. Because...something is really shady when you break the law to hide a death

(206 posts)At some point a death certificate must be produced with time and date. And is this thing is under a cloud of suspicion there will be an autopsy.
The state of the lesions in his brain will need to match the timeline that's on the death certificate.

(32,151 posts)Is There an Age Limit for Organ Donation
There's no age limit to donation or to signing up. People in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and older have donated and received organs.
Learn the facts about donating for people over age 50.
FACT
People of all ages can be organ donors. One of the oldest organ donors in the United States, Cecil, was 95. He was a liver donor and enhanced the lives of more than 20 other people by donating tissue and skin.
FACT
Being older doesn't mean you can't be a donor. When you die, doctors will decide if you can donate.
