I took off organ donor years ago. The doctors, the hospital, the agency collecting organs and everyone involved makes huge profits off organ transplants. Yet, my family gets zero. Until my family can benefit the same way the system does it’s a “No” from me!
Organ-Leggers are truly becoming a thing.
Again, ask around. Don’t trust just me.
“if you sign a Donor card or do not make your preferences known to your family or friends. That you could be Donor-ed to death and striped like stolen car.”
I’ve heard that they do that, anyhow, even without a donor card.
“I saw and heard make me distrust most if not all in the medical profession.”
My sister worked for a Medical Malpractice insurance company. She has no PCP, and if she goes for healthcare you know it’s the absolute last resort. She trusts nobody.
Use the old-fashioned kind of definition - along the lines of the T-4 program, but better.
If you’re not a ‘producer’, you get to ‘produce’.

What an ignorant thing for a urinalist to type.
The brain is what signals the heart to beat.

We need to broaden the definition of death.
Like they broadened the definition of what a man or woman is ?
Or what a person is ?

No.
The reason organ donors are decreased has more to do with distrust in the medical profession IMHO.
I was 18 when I contacted double pneumonia in A school.
I was in a coma for 2 weeks. Thankfully it was a USCG facility where there was no incentive to harvest my organs.
I’m a donor - but I don’t plan on leaving much behind that will be useful to anyone else....
Yeah, the joke’s going to be on whoever gets my liver.
Brain death was specifically created for the purpose of a morr bountiful organ harvest. What’s next? Probably economic liability. Is the person a strain on resources?
