The only way a doctor is allowed to ‘take your organs’ is if YOU have signed a donor request. If you haven’t they can’t.

I get tired of all the bashing of the medical community that goes on…. even O claimed things that are NOT true and would cost a doc their license if it occurred.

The government through Ocare has already put into place panels that will decide who lives and dies. That is where our efforts should be.

Actually there are some places where they can take your organs without your signature or your approval. It is assumed you are a willing donor if you have not signed a refusal.

Opt in or opt out approvals vary by location along with how death is defined. Some want cardiac death, others want brain stem death and others total brain death. There is no one standard for agreement to donate and equally important criteria for determining if you’re really dead.
