“Perhaps not directly, but organ harvesting is a big business and many doctors and hospitals are making money because of it.”
Doctors and hospitals make big money from treating sick people - does that bother you?
The ignorance on this thread around the subject of organ donation and transplantation is astounding. You all do what you want, but my driver’s license indicates that I am a willing organ doner. I also ride a motorcycle, and if the worst happens hopefully at least my death can benefit one or more other people in need.
Well, maybe I shouldn't say it, but the medical slang for a motorcycle is donorcycle.
Have you considered switching to a nice, safe, boring Volvo? :-)
I don’t have any problems with hospitals making money. I do have a problem with them unnecessarily allowing someone to die simply to get their organs.

Opinions are just what they are.....like fruit. You pick what you like and ignore the others.
Try it!
I absolutely agree with you...it is hard to fathom that conservatives such as freepers would ever oppose organ donation....the idea that doctors would intentionally cause your death to get your organs is preposterous
i know what happened to my father, i authored a bill to combat it, and janet napalitono signed it, only 1 vote against it,
it does happen, and the lack of regulation promotes the bad things, which then by neglect, allows them to go on
