A Kentucky organization that manages organ donations is being shut down by the federal government due to safety concerns. The US Health and Human Services Secretary made the announcement, citing the organization's history of putting patients at risk. The organization in question, Network for Hope, has been under scrutiny for over a year.

A whistleblower had previously reported concerns about the organization's practices, including a case where staff began harvesting a man's organs before he was declared dead. Further details about the shutdown and the organization's practices are available from the source, including statements from the US Health and Human Services Secretary and an interview with the man involved in the reported incident.
