I do think it is strange that the AMA understands financial incentive so well for those doing the transplant but opposes even small payments to the donor's family.

Your mistake is that you believe the AMA represents Physicians...and in reality they do not. Less than 40% of physicians belong to the AMA and I would wager that the vast majority of those are primary care physicians.

The AMA is a hack left-wing organization and I want nothing to do with them, and most Doctors feel the same.

Wow, I have never heard that sentiment before. I apologize for equating the medical profession with the AMA.

While I am not certain, I believe this link that discusses the issue and the 'agreement' between the organ procurement organization and the prosecutor's office for Cuyahoga County may give everyone more information than the 5 sentence 'article' that was posted.

At least the comments/opinions would be more appropriately based on accurate information, and not a brief, poorly worded TV news piece:
