My mother taught me to keep my mouth shut if I couldn’t say anything nice. I don’t see anything nice about organ donation and it degrades with each one of these articles.
Reminds me of “Coma” by Robin Cook.
Yeah, there’s nothing nice about the thousands of people living today with donated organs. They should just die, right?
Didn’t anyone see this coming?
Talk about “species soup & salad”. Women donating eggs, men donating sperm, freezing zygotes, the comatose losing their organs to over-zealous surgeons.
Must be big money in them soup-monkeys!
And you think it is ok to steal someones body parts? I don't and it would appear that a couple of crooked doctors in this case are in deep doo doo.
And as for donated organs, I oppose the concept, that is why they call it voluntary.
That’s why no one should sign a donor card...you might end
up in a coma, or with no one to watch out for you, and someone
who gets paid for harvesting organs and their team come out
to get you...this doesn’t always happen but it is not
unfeasible in my imagination....
I don’t know if it’s been
done in a movie, but maybe some rich witch might need an
organ, and through the ability to get others DNA patterns and
“histocompatibility” information about people in
the future, might be able to order the death of someone in
order to procure their organs.
SOMBIE....Saving Organs, Muscles, Bones, Intestines, Eyes.
That would be a cool name for a human tissue harvesting
organization...no?
China already does this ‘black market’ organ harvesting from its prisoners.

CHINAIn the middle of January, 2007, the BBC Chinese website published an interview regarding organ harvesting in China. For the first time, China’s Ministry of Health spokesman Mao Qunan admitted to the practice of organ harvesting from executed prisoners in China, which he had publicly denied before. However, Mao evaded key evidence of organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and denied that accusation.
I have no doubt this occured.
Been directly warned by one too many doctors about this (back in my motorcycle days). I made it real clear in my living will and on my driver’s license. (There is a sticker you can put on to say “NO ORGAN DONATION”)

This was kind of the plot of the movie “The Island”

Your statement is absolutely untrue. Nobody in the ER is going through your billfold looking for your organ donor status when you’re wheeled in so they can decide on your method of treatment. Hospitals do NOT make big bucks off organ donations.
No, but more and more, hospitals are treating everyone as an organ donor unless there is specific documentation that they are not.

Perhaps not directly, but organ harvesting is a big business and many doctors and hospitals are making money because of it.
Maybe the butchers could find better paying jobs at a meat packing plant.
“Perhaps not directly, but organ harvesting is a big business and many doctors and hospitals are making money because of it.”
Doctors and hospitals make big money from treating sick people - does that bother you?
The ignorance on this thread around the subject of organ donation and transplantation is astounding. You all do what you want, but my driver’s license indicates that I am a willing organ doner. I also ride a motorcycle, and if the worst happens hopefully at least my death can benefit one or more other people in need.
All the money in the world and then some?
