I suspect that the families who authorize starvation by removal of feeding tubes are just interested in getting the former loved one out of the way so that they can resume their life of getting and spending. Plus, the sooner the disabled die, the more money there will be in any insurance settlement, will, or leftover bank account. I doubt that most think about selling organs.
But in the future, the sale of organs will become another unstated reason to hasten euthanasia in such cases.
One day for some the euthanasia will come back to haunt the family members who pushed it on their former loved ones.

I bet Michael Schiavo has a "living will" to protect him from others who might do to him in the future what he is doing to Terri! I bet he has all the details written out as he demands to be treated when the time comes for him to exit.

America is truly a sick society. People who would turn a blind eye or even endorse the plight facing Terri Schindler would nevertheless shed copious tears for days if their 16-year family pet had to be euthanized because of multiple system failure.
