but, if you do it right, you can charge 20 people for transplanted tissue harvested from a single donor

Your scenario sounds to me like 20 lives saved or greatly improved by admitting one has died. But then, I'm an optimist.

Maybe here, but in China they might call you something else.

We have to be very careful or we may travel the transplant road using communi$t chine$e ethic$.

You'd have to be an optimist to think that such a strong financial incentive wouldn't influence determinations of brain death or, even worse, deciding life support should be cut off based on very subjective "quality of life" criteria.

Great logic. "Admit you are dead!" Many will be "admitted" who still live.
