In my opinion, if the death of a person is certain, hastening that death by a few days to protect the viability of needed organs that will add many years to the quality of life for multiple people is a rational thing to contemplate, assuming the person making the donation has agreed upon the terms in advance of his/her demise.

bullshit .... when you are laying on that slab and look at how you might be 'harvested' a few days early you WILL think differently.

If these organs are so valuable, then why doesn't the family get paid for them???

Because they are not sold. They do recover the costs of the service, the removal and care if they can, in the form of fees to the recipient but the organ is free and not specifically sold. That is illegal in this country.

Maybe you did not know that.......
