You are why i'm not a fucking organ donor.
I can't trust you lunatics to not get a little too eager for the "greater good".

Yep, that right there!!! The recipients are just gonna haffa wait until after my kids have given up on all hope.

Of course, the manufactured range of "respectable" (and "expert") opinion includes and embraces ad hoc re-definitions of "death" to suit the purposes of heath care death cult bureaucrats, but completely excludes support for the single-best provisioner of scarce goods to ever exist - free markets.

How long will it be until organ donation becomes mandatory (and thus further incentivizes "inducing" people to die involuntarily, or encouraging them to do so without so-called fully "informed consent")?

Place your bets!

Fuckers don't deserve my organs.

I have explicit instructions on my ID card that my organs are to be extracted from my body, presented to someone who needs it, and then unceremoniously destroyed while they watch, explaining to them, that they did this.

Had a medical emergency with an elderly relative living with us, of whom I have become her ad hoc caregiver. A serious heart electric block resulted in seven heart stoppages over the course of her emergency care, two with me and five more in hospital and transit. I did not at all care for how the staff initially was pushing the idea of of DNR, did she have one, why didn't she have one and so on. I had to make it very clear that there was, as far as I knew, no such orders and, until told otherwise, do what was medically necessary to keep her alive.

A pacemaker and two weeks later, she's doing well, whereas the alternative would have been a funeral.

He had to disable replies, because he was being savaged in them.

This is the only respectful one I've seen, and even it disagrees with him for the obvious reasons:

If it were legal, I would gladly sell the rights to my organs, but I sure as shit ain't giving them away for free.

I agree. If it were legal I would gladly sell the rights to your organs as well.

My organs aren't as healthy as they used to be so I don't think anybody would be interested in mine.

There are girls in my town who rent their organs for a few minutes at a time to different guys, but from the looks of them (they don't look like Julia Roberts) I don't think such a transaction would be good for your health.

NPR (which Trump is trying to gut) reported on a man in Kentucky who came out of a coma while they were trying to harvest his organs.

My mom (R.I.P.) always said she wouldn't be an organ donor for this very reason.

It also means that people that would be declared dead on scene are revived and artificially supported for days only to pronounce them dead later.
My Granddaughter was hit by a car and dead on the sidewalk. They spent over 20 minutes reviving her. She had no brain activity and her heart was not functioning. They gave epinephrine to keep heart going and ventilator to give appearance of life. She was in a high tech intensive care facility hooked up to all kinds of gadgets for a week. Reality is she was dead on scene. The fucking vultures wanting her organs came in a couple of times. The impression I got was that they keep people alive to keep the organs viable. One comment was striking. The dad said something like, her kidneys are compromised, her heart has issues and her lungs... and the response from the vultures was, "there are still many good organs to harvest." Hmm that gave me the impression of an automobile that was getting parted out and everything had value. We won't stop until there is nothing left...

In 20 years it'll all be grown in labs anyway
