I doubt most people have any problem in this area, although the Schiavo case has probably inspired people to be more detailed in expressing these wishes to their families.
I worry that after reading threads like this that people will go into situations like this assuming the worst about the doctors and disbelieving of anything they hear from them.
I’m sure corruption can and does exist at times, but I do not believe it is the norm.
After meeting other donor families, and receiving information from doctors involved in the process - we have only met very caring, ethical, and intelligent people.
H--- No, everybody has to die sometime, and I have no intentions of someone like bill clintoon being saved by my parts. When donations get to where you and are your family have control and some shyster doctor isn't being made wealthier, ping me.
which shyster doctor are you talking about?
The doctors who harvest, and who reimplant the organs are compensated for the procedure, just like they would be compensated for performing other types of surgery.
They are not being compensated for the organ.
How are you and your family going to manage to find a suitable match for the organ before it degrades to the point of being useless?
are you going to make your decision based on need? Or are you going to auction off to the highest bidder?
Whatever. You’re a fine one to talk - your posts strike me as quite disingenous. I could say more but don’t wish to be insulting, so I’ll leave it at that.
People like that are dangerous psychopaths who should be put away.
Ah crap! I had written something similar to this in a story I am working on. I have never seen the movie you mention. Proof that there are no original ideas in the world.
The Island is an awesome movie!
Gruesome, but with a message I was very surprised to see coming from Hollywood.
I felt the same way after seeing Children of Men

Too late...but there is time to give your condecension organ to someone.
This is an interesting site for determining how organ, blood and tissue donation is viewed from a religious perspective. Perhaps it will save insults and hurt feelings on this thread.

No my post is not filled with inaccuracies as it relates to my experiences. You have found one story that is a glaring exception and chosen to smear the entire organ donor program with it. That is not how it is done, and it is most certainly not murder or suicide.

Do an FR keyword search on body brokers.

>>>”The donor, whose name has not been released, was said to have been of a similar age and from the same area as Ms Dinoire. She had hanged herself. Permission for the transplant was given by her family after she was declared brain dead.”<<<
You first. Yours is obviously hyper-active, Mr. Condescending.
OMG - a thread from 2006 - That is frightening.
Introduced to a VIP physician from the Robt.Woods Johnson Foundation. Liberal think tank as I recall. Didn’t like him one bit. He was overly enthusiastic about Universal Health Care.
Maybe you should’ve told that doctor about what such a system would do to his paycheck.
ps, if I seem condescending it’s because I find it hard to take the paranoid ramblings of idiots seriously.
