I gave a kidney 4+ years ago, so I’m a big advocate of organ donation. I follow news about it pretty closely.

This has to be the weirdest and most ghoulish story I’ve ever read regarding the subject.

It’s one thing to voluntarily give a kidney, and quite another to be put in a position such as the article describes, which is why, as a retired RN, I am NOT an organ donor.

I get doing that voluntarily, and applaud you.

The problem is this is a huge profit center for hospitals and doctors.

And they cannot be trusted; Covid confirmed that.

It’s odd that you can’t sell your own organs, but a hospital can sell your organs for their profit.

I am NOT an organ donor because I don’t want anyone over eager to “call it” in the E.R. and start distributing spare parts before I’m done using them. This is nothing new I’ve held that position for 40 years at least.

Ok course they WANT to KILL AMERICANS. Especially if they are to go to an ILLEGAL ALIEN.

I’ve heard other horror stories like this. I will never donate my organs.
