In most of the world it's Holy Saturday. Christians mourn the death of their Saviour, Jesus Christ. Churches are empty; the red glow at the tabernacle, symbolising the Light of the world, is extinguished. Christians know for certain that to save them all from eternal death, on Good Friday Christ died on His Cross.
But in hospitals around the world patients declared to be dead - like Christ, when the centurion thrust a lance into His heart - are still alive when their organs are removed for transplant. Often with paralysing agents instead of anaesthesia. Patients with severe brain injury are diagnosed as 'dead' after only partial loss of brain function, but a poor prognosis of neurological injury is not the same thing as 'dead': 'brain death' is not death. Millions of kind-hearted people intending to donate their organs deserve to be told they'd still be alive if their organs were removed.
The terrible plight of Noelia Castillo Ramos (https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2026/03/doctors-law-police-govt-church-all.html) electrified the world and galvanised even the Catholic Church (moribund in Spain) to denounce it as “crossing a moral line no society should dare to cross." According to Castillo's attorney, Polonia Castellanos, the euthanasia was not delayed, even as the family continued to object, because Noelia’s organs had already been designated for donation.
"You CAN'T get organs from a cadaver— they're stealing them from living kids & young adults 16-30 while they're still breathing on ventilators!" Dr Paul Byrne, President of the Life Guardian Foundation, states that Narcan is pushed on overdose victims just to rush them into the ER for fresh organs. So don't put it on your (driver’s) license ...And the things I'm telling you, you are not allowed to hear. Because if you hear it, you will be upset — and you should be upset, because whose organs do they want? They want the organs from the, certainly from all children, but especially the people who are 16 to 30.”
“Their life is in jeopardy. If they're unconscious and on a ventilator, they're going to get their organs. And they do everything to get their organs. And once the organs are taken, you can't bring them back to life.”
The radical left started desensitizing us to death through abortion. Then they introduced voluntary euthanasia. What have we done???
The story of Noelia Castillo Ramos is one of the most heartbreaking and unsettling assisted suicide and organ donation cases in recent years, and it forces us to take a closer look at death as an answer to suffering.
Noelia was only 25 years old. She had endured repeated sexual assaults, and the trauma from those experiences haunted her for years. She struggled with severe depression, had been admitted to psychiatric facilities more than once, and had previously attempted to take her own life.
By her own words, she felt completely overwhelmed. In an interview on Antena 3, she described feeling empty, alone, and without purpose. She said she had no goals, no motivation, and no desire to keep going. Her world, as she put it, felt “very dark.”
Noelia was kept isolated prior to her MURDER (that’s what is was).
They kept her family & friends from her & she never saw the world trying to reach her to show our love & offers of support to save her life.
At the same time, she made something else very clear. Although she had impairment from a spinal injury, she was not bedridden. She was able to get up, shower, and take care of herself. This was not a case of someone in the final stages of a terminal illness. This was a young woman in deep emotional and psychological pain—pain that can be treated and healed with the right care and support.
God brings peace and healing to the brokenhearted. Even after unimaginable trauma, healing and a full life are still possible through Him. There are churches, nonprofits, and counseling centers ready to walk alongside people in these painful situations, offering the care, support, and hope they need. That way, women don’t have to numb the pain; they can live fully free.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
In April 2024, Noelia requested euthanasia under Spanish law. Her request was approved, setting off a long legal battle led by her father, who strongly opposed the decision. He pleaded for more time, believing his daughter needed help, not death. With the support of the Christian Lawyers, he fought to stop the procedure and took the case as far as the European Court of Human Rights. For nearly two years, the family tried to intervene.
But on March 24, the court declined to stop the euthanasia. With that decision, the final barrier was removed. Within days, the process moved forward.
What happened next has left many people shaken. In a video shared online, Noelia’s best friend can be seen arriving in tears, begging for the chance to see her one last time. She pleads with staff, clearly desperate and heartbroken. She is turned away. There is no final goodbye, no moment of comfort—just a closed door in what would be the last hours of a young woman’s life.

Another detail makes the situation even more troubling. According to her attorney, Polonia Castellanos, the euthanasia was not delayed, even as the family continued to object, because Noelia’s organs had already been designated for donation.

This raises serious concerns about whether outside factors may have influenced the timing of her death. When a decision as final as this is connected to something else—especially something as sensitive as organ donation—it leaves many wondering if the system is truly focused on the person in front of them.
According to Noelia’s lawyer, she could not cancel her euthanasia because “her organs were already committed”.Spain placed more value on her organs than on her life, had her murdered, and essentially sold her for parts.
Noelia herself knew her family did not agree with her choice. She acknowledged that they would be left behind with pain, but said she wanted her own suffering to end. Her words reveal just how alone and hopeless she felt. But they also highlight the core issue in this case. She was not saying there was absolutely no help left. She was saying she felt there was no way out.
That is what makes this story so difficult to ignore. A 25-year-old woman, who was physically capable of living her daily life, who had a family fighting for her, and who had a history of mental health struggles, was ultimately approved for assisted suicide. Instead of being surrounded with more care, more time, and more support, her life was brought to an end.
Although this took place in Spain, these pressures exist in Texas too. Some hospitals and organ donation businesses push families to “pull the plug” not out of concern for the patient, but from financial gain.

This case raises a painful but necessary question. When someone is suffering deeply—especially from emotional and psychological wounds—should the answer be to end their life, or should it be to help them cope with that pain?
Her lawyer highlights the hospital’s conflict of interest in this case, because Noelia’s organs are worth millions in billable charges.
Euthanasia was supposed to be for terminally ill people that were suffering horrific pain & now young people are being killed for their organs.

| In 1975 Dr Byrne treated Joseph, a premature baby declared brain dead but eventually made a full recovery. Joseph motivated Dr Byrne to oppose brain death as a definition of death in the US |
Dr Paul Byrne, founder of the Life Guardian Foundation, refused to sign the
-backed brain death document supported by 150+ Catholics. He says while much of it is "commendable it is insufficient to protect life," as brain death is "a misnomer."
simple: the soul is a non-corporeal, spiritual life-principle which cannot be observed or measured or weighed using the tools of empirical science. The presence or absence of the "You can't get organs from a cadaver— they're stealing them from living kids & young adults 16-30 while they're still breathing on ventilators!"
Dr. Paul Byrne reveals they push Narcan on overdose victims just to rush them into the ER for fresh organs... then lie to grieving families: "Your daughter Sally would want to 'do something good.'"
"See, you cannot get any organs from a cadaver. Every organ that's transplanted is a healthy organ, and you can only get healthy organs from living persons. You cannot get any organs for transplant from a cadaver.”
“So you don't put it on your (driver’s) license?”soul can be ascertained only by observing certain biological signs that indirectly attest to
The criteria (for brain death) included no response to stimuli, no breathing, no reflexes, no brainwaves, and replication after 24 hours. Though rapidly adopted, it was immediately contested by doctors who felt harvesting organs from someone with a heartbeat was unethical, worried about diagnostic errors, and suspected the primary motivation was avoiding long-term care costs and obtaining organs.
“And the things I'm telling you is that you are not allowed to hear. And because if you hear it, you will be upset — and rightly so, you should be upset, because whose organs do they want? They want the organs from the, certainly from all children, but especially the people who are sixteen to thirty.”
“And their life is in jeopardy. If they're unconscious and on a ventilator, they're going to get their organs. And they do everything to get their organs. And once the organs are taken, you can't bring them back to life.”
“And so what they do is they tell the relatives, 'Well, your daughter Sally would really like to do something good, and this is a way to make something good out of this tragedy,' or your son.”
“While they have been getting organs from accidents and gunshot wounds, they now get more organs from overdose of drugs than they do from accidents and gunshot wounds combined. There are eight deaths a day from overdose in Ohio, and they get their organs — that's what they want.”
“And so what are they doing? They're giving the policemen the Narcan to counteract the drug, which gets them into the emergency room, but it doesn't save their life. It gets them in the emergency room, and they still get their organs. It's so diabolically disgusting. Oh, it really is. See, it's so bad."

Pope Leo XIV on Thursday said organ donation is a noble act that should be governed by fair and transparent criteria, avoiding “any form of commodification of the human body.”
He also encouraged the safeguarding of the well-being of patients in his comments to participants of an event organized by the Italian National Transplant Network at the Vatican on March 26.
Pope Pius XII offered early moral guidance, “recognizing the legitimacy of removal for therapeutic purposes, respecting the dignity of the human body and the rights of the people involved.”
Leo emphasized that since then, the Church’s reflection has accompanied the development of transplant medicine, “recognizing its value and at the same time setting out the necessary ethical criteria.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms that “organ donation after death is a noble and meritorious act and is to be encouraged as an expression of generous solidarity.”
For this reason, he warned that “vigilance is always necessary to avoid any form of commodification of the human body and ensure that transplants are governed by fair and transparent criteria.”
Leo also stressed that transplantation medicine highlights how “the relationship of care, trust, and mutual responsibility constitutes an essential condition for a transplant to take place.”https://ewtnvatican.com/articles/pope-leo-xiv-organ-donation-body-commodification
