I renewed my driver's license today through 2017. The deputy asked if I wanted to be an organ donor. I said no. I've heard horror stories of patients agreeing to be organ donors, then having their families financially wiped out as the bills for harvesting the organs are dumped on the family and not covered by insurance. Screw that. I'm not leaving the door open to that kind of abuse. I had cancer in 1985. Given recent stories, that would be no impediment to making a buck by taking potentially contaminated organs.

Exactly right.

Most savvy people that wish to donate organs postmortem will specify what organs for what specific purposes and who will pay the expenses in their Living Will.

Those conditions MUST be met or the donation does not proceed.
