I’m not an organ donor either. When I was in college, I considered it. However, I worked at a hospital. A teen had been in a traumatic vehicle accident and the hospital kept pushing the family to donate the organs. When the family told the doctors that their daughter squeezed their hands slightly when asked to do so, the doctors told them it was not possible. The family was “feeling” what wasn’t there to make themselves feel like she was viable. Long story short... the teen was later transferred to a rehabilitation facility. She would never be like she was before the accident; however, she was able to re-learn how to walk (with a gait), talk, etc... That one case has always stayed in my mind.

In 1993, Democrat Governor Casey of PA needed a combination heart and liver transplant. Within hours of being diagnosed as needing the transplant Casey was on the operating table getting his organs, bypassing the waiting list.

The donor was a 34 year old black man, William Lucas, who was conveniently found beaten to death just when the governor needed the organs.
