You might not be capable of anger at that point. And my condolences about your apparent poor relationship with your children.
This is about trying to blame someone. It’s not about the donors wishes.
In this case there was no dispute about the patients wishes between the patient's family and the medical personnel, only the timing and the incentive for overriding the family's wishes about the timing.
Your delusions about who benefits are so far from reality that it is impossible to argue against you.
Well that sure is a constructive argument you make there. I can see why you don't have a positive relationship with your children!
you are free to think any way you want.
Why thank you very much!
You are free to be a donor or not.
Really? I wasn't aware of that.
You are NOT free to overrule the specific directives of an adult just because you don’t agree. It doesn’t work that way.
If my family can't override what I said at the DMV after standing in line for 45 minutes based on what I told them since then, I won't be a donor. And you know what, I bet most people who currently are willing to donate won't either.
“Are you saying that the donating hospital isn’t paid? Surely you jest.?”
The hospital where the donation happens receives no money from the receiving hospital. The OPO is the middle man, and by law, they are not-for-profits. Once donation is decided, the receiving hospital is only paid what is contracted between them and the OPO. That money is based on a contract that in most cases isn’t enough to pay expenses incurred. The hospitals have a legal obligation to assist and that obligation creates a situation where the hospitals do not have the leverage to negotiate large financial gains from the process.
You think this is preposterous only because you want to imagine bogeymen out to steal your organs. In reality, there are laws here that protect against that very thing. Also, in reality, most health care practitioners are actually invested in taking care of people. Your accusations about real people working in the trenches to save lives, as agents out to kill you off to steal your organs are silly. It is your conspiracy fantasies that are preposterous.
Donations save lives.
