"The anencephalic issue can only add to that distrust and have a chilling effect on organ donation generally," he says.
Experts disagree on whether anencephalic babies feel pain and whether artificially prolonging life might pressure parents into continuing a pregnancy solely for organ donation.
Six anencephalic infants were kept alive by respirator for a week under those guidelines, though none ultimately became an organ donor, said Loma Linda spokeswoman Anita Rockwell.
Experts and ethicists have been divided for some time over whether to transplant the hearts, livers and kidneys of anencephalic infants into other dying babies, for whom there is an extreme shortage of organs.
Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics at the University of Minnesota, suspects "a significant number" of parents would donate their anencephalic babies' organs if they could.
"The anencephalic baby has been declared dead," said Dick Schaefer, spokesman for Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, Calif.
However, no anencephalic donor babies have met the hospital's criteria.

The first anencephalic child considered by Loma Linda hospital for the pioneering procedure was the child of Brenda and Michael Winner of Arcadia, Calif. But the baby was stillborn on Dec. 22.
Half of the 1,000 to 2,000 anencephalic babies born each year in the United States are stillborn.
