i don’t think the point here is that organ donation is a bad thing. i think any person on this thread would accept an organ if their life depended on it. the point is....organ harvesters are finding ways to get more organs, and not always in ethical ways. my husband is a medical examiner and we see quite a bit of corruption in the practices of organ harvesting agencies. not only do they not always test tissue samples for diseases, but they will also knowingly take tissues that are from diseased individuals because it will make them money. and just recently, a local woman was on life support in the hospital. her husband was pressed hard to take her off life support so that her organs could save someone else. he finally agreed under pressure, but when his wife was taken off life support with organ harvesters ready to cut, she began breathing on her own. thank goodness the husband was present because who knows what they may have decided....ie..her quality of life isn’t going to be what another’s life would be with her organ...etc. anyway, congrats on the life you’ve been given with a donated organ. the point is, there is a LOT of corruption in the process, so don’t think that just because they elongated your life that they are angels. too much money to be made.
