Organs Harvested... from LIVING Patient? | Law & Order

"They were getting ready to take her organs out half an hour before she was declared dead"

From "Harvest (Season 8, Episode 4): A shooting leads Briscoe and Curtis (Jerry Orbach, Benjamin Bratt) to the apprehension of a gunman and to disturbing questions about a doctor's (guest star Michael Nouri) questionable reports in the case.

Show Synopsis: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. From Emmy-winning creator Dick Wolf, with its groundbreaking "ripped-from-the-headlines" format, comes the highly-acclaimed, longest-running crime series in television history.

Love when the judge says “now go yell at somebody else.”

[jadedbrad]

There was an early episode where a daughter received a kidney and the donor lived. The daughter asked McCoy: "What's the harm?". McCoy said "Do you think your father would have behaved differently if you needed a heart?" Stunned silence.

Shooter was convicted. Doctor took a plea. Thank God for Google.

[danielmcgillis]

The man who fired the gun is at the very least guilty of attempted murder, assault and battery with a deadly weapon, and criminal mayhem. He is not walking.

[aaronburgin]

The piece of evidence to bring the doctor down could’ve easily been overlooked, but when they found it, you realize how sinister he really was.

[hashslingingslasher]

Why are they acting like the shooter would just get released? Man's still guilty of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, etc.

"I'm just a neurosurgeon" - is such a humble brag.

"Now go yell at somebody else." Arraignment judges are the best on this show. Another judge in a different episode, upon hearing a claim that a drug dealer/murder suspect was "roughed up" by the police in custody the judge said "I'm hearing violins counselor. Remanded."

The do a good job explaining the law, especially Adam Schiff.

But the guy who shot definitely could have been charged with something, like reckless endangerment. Less than murder, but more than nothing.

Dude I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say I’m just a neurosurgeon

"Mr O'Neil is not qualified to assess the condition of a comatose patient."
Sure, yet, First responder CPR Assessment step, "check for breathing." a non medical person can check for breathing.

[uptonogood]

I have a question. If you steal someone's organ, and the victim survived but needs the organ back to survive. Can they demand it back? Legally? It would in theory cause the death of the recipient but could they let the victim die so the perpetrator lives?

[Someloser]

Love that half of the judges are so over it
"Now go yell at somebody else."

[nevthebear]

At 3:01 she didn’t put the file back right and it keeps bugging me through out the episode anyone else feel like this?

[theduke]

wtf is the judge talking about? You absolutely can charge two seperate people as liable for the death of 1 victim in unrelated incidents

[nsnopper]

I loved Steven Hill. His character Adam Schiff always had a turn of phrase, and Hill delivered each one perfectly. Plus, Dan Briggs, first team leader of the Impossible Mission Force . . . What a guy.

[huizhechen]

Even on this TV cop show there is no justice, only procedure.

[dodgeplow]

The guy had to ask for directions because this was before cell phones and mainstream automobile GPS devices were common. it wasn't until this episode was made (and was likely written a year or more earlier) that Garmin released the first reasonably affordable (still pricey) GPS device - the Street Pilot. And it wouldn't be until several years later before they were good and common.

People are often technically alive when their organs are harvested. They keep you on life support if they can, so they have longer to deal with your organs

[nickrykert]

The Doctor said she was brain dead, but he took out a medication that, but her to sleep and he took her Heart and lungs so he could get a better job at another hospital. Jack McCoy asked the doctor if she was brain dead why did you use the medication. So she didn't wake up when he took her organs.
