NJ Sharing Network, which facilitates organ donations, is facing scathing questions from Congress about its practices.

They surround allegations of taking organs without consent and skipping people who had been waiting for life-saving transplants.

The House Ways and Means Committee has heard claims from a dozen whistleblowers.

NJ Sharing Network CEO Carolyn Welsh is being called on by Congress to answer.

One of the more egregious claims took place in Camden at the Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.

The investigation revealed that Welsh told staffers to proceed with harvesting organs even after a patient suddenly showed signs of life.

The hospital staff refused to follow that suggestion from Welsh.

NJ Sharing Network is located in New Providence.

Despite the allegations, many people in town who have signed on to be organ donors tell News 12 that this won’t deter them.

“I’m sure most of the time it’s done unbelievably carefully and right and does change people’s lives so no I would not ever not check it off,” said Rebecca Coniglio.

Lynn Miles also lives in New Providence and has long believed in organ donation.

“What am I going to do with it when I’m dead?... If it can help somebody, I really want it to be fruitful for them,” said Miles.

The CEO must respond to the congressional committee by Dec. 3.
