"They can definitely get overzealous at times," said Eric Gluck, director of critical care services at the Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. "I have seen these guys come in and almost browbeat families into submission to get them to donate organs."

At which point, I would have then sent those guy flying back through the wall...

My aunt is a retired registered nurse, and she told me long ago to never sign the organ donation card on the back of my driver's license since she knew of several cases where people were allowed to die after car wrecks to get their organs. And this was ten years ago...

That’s why mine isn’t signed. I have no problem donating my organs, but only AFTER I’m really dead.

Removing my "organ donor" endorsement right now. Seriously.

Someone once suggested to me that I was being selfish for not signing as a donor, since I would have no use for my organs. I’ve heard too much about this kind of stuff to go along with it! Good thing to make sure relatives know this too.

I wonder how much money the hospital and surgeons get for organs. Always follow the money! It must be a LOT.
I used to think organ donation was a good thing.
I’m now rethinking it. It is good for the recipient, bad for the donor.
