The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has begun an audit of the organ transplantation system following a scandal involving the removal of organs from living people. An investigation into one of the largest organ procurement networks, Network for Hope, found violations in nearly 30% of the cases reviewed. According to Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr., some patients were prepared for donation despite being alive. Kennedy brought one of them — T. J. Hoover — to meet with reporters: the man regained consciousness while already on the operating table, and the organ-removal procedure was halted.
