What do they know/understand that the rest of us don’t?

I have heard that many ERs WILL NOT go to the lengths to save a known organ donor that they will to save a non-donor.

Aren't organs a private matter? Wouldn't that be an assault and battery, to take a living person's organs? I'd like to see THAT prosecuted!

Thinking of China's organ donations policy makes me ill.

Not true.Being a known organ donor doesn't enter into it.Many factors do...age....underlying medical issues (e.g,patient with advanced cancer,etc)....nature/extent of injuries/illness and others and sometimes family's wishes.But not organ donation.
