“They must get permission from your family member(s)”
They’re SUPPOSED to get permission. Family members have no idea what actually happens in the end. Organs are pretty valuable commodities.
Just wondering how many organ harvesting operations have you been involved with. Because your comment is incredibly inaccurate.
Having worked at a hospital where this was done, I can assure you that even with a donor card, the family is deeply involved. Now, that means the next of kin. I am sure there are cases where the spouse has one opinion and a sibling or parent has another.
And this stuff takes time. There are several teams involved. They don’t start hacking at the body. They are not ghouls who “get off” on this.
If you don’t approve of harvesting, that’s fine. But it is heavily regulated, incredibly respectful, and involves dozens of professionals.
