So Canadian organ donors better read the fine print that say the gov has the right to harvest early??

Oh heck, ya! No word of a lie - I had been signing my driver’s license since I was 20 to be an organ donor and I did worse than that. I tried to persuade people I knew to sign theirs too. By the time I was in my 40’s I had started to hear about some shenanigans in the organ donor “business”, and the next time I had to renew my license, I refused to sign it. I also tried to tell the younger members of my family (nieces, nephews and younger siblings) about a hospital’s difficult choice between saving one life versus saving 8 with your body parts. I’m not so sure hospitals want old people’s parts as much as the young ones, so the older we get, the safer I thought we’d be in a hospital ... until the MAID legislation passed.
I know we have doctors lurking on the site and I mean not even the tiniest bit of disrespect to them, but there are now MANY doctors who crossed their fingers when they recited the Hippocratic Oath. I wouldn’t trust those ones to help me in a bad situation. I just wish I could identify them by a black ring around their eyes or something, but they blend in very well, so I can’t trust any of them. Having said that, I’d trust Lady Doc and Dr. Dude easily. 😊
I learnt from Star Trek (spock) the needs of the many (needing organs) are greater then the need of the few, or one.
