This is abhorrent, and why I will not sign a living will. Living wills are now misinterpreted to mean “don’t try to help at all.”

I have said before many times that I have no objection to my organs being used to help others after I'm dead, BUT I need to really be dead and I simply don't trust the current system to recognize the difference between life and death.

There are laws against profiting off organs, against having an organ market.

The truth is though, that that is now just a masquerade. The donor family doesn’t get a dime, but the recovery, transport, administration, and medical pieces make HUGE amounts of money off organs. The call it “expense.”
