Organ donation group accused of trying to take living man's organs faces shutdown

The US health department is moving to shut down Network for Hope, a Kentucky-based organ procurement organization, following accusations that it attempted to harvest a man's organs while he was still alive in 2021. The Department of Health and Human Services announced it has begun the process to decertify the organization, which would effectively close it down due to its service area spanning parts of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. NFH has strongly disagreed with the HHS's decision and plans to appeal the decertification.
