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.

No, but more and more, hospitals are treating everyone as an organ donor unless there is specific documentation that they are not.

Hospitals do NOT make big bucks off organ donations.

Perhaps not directly, but organ harvesting is a big business and many doctors and hospitals are making money because of it.

“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.

I’m at ground zero and know different.

I challenge that assertion. Let’s see some evidence.
