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

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working to shut down Network for Hope (NFH), a Kentucky-based organ procurement organization, following a 2021 incident where it was accused of attempting to harvest a living man's organs. The HHS has begun the process to decertify NFH, which would effectively shut down the organization that serves Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. NFH has strongly disagreed with the HHS's decision and plans to appeal the decertification.
