I think a movement needs to be started serving notice that the families of organ donators get promised a percentage of the gross profits that will be made on the transplantation of their loved ones’ organs or else no donations will be made.

This is sick. Setting up the sale of a heart or liver to pay for the widow's retirement is not moral or ethical. Why did I immediately think of, "Get thee behind me Satan?"

What is sick is are the hospital ceo’s and the pharmaceutical companies getting rich off of transplantations of organs which were donated “for free”...so whose “Satan” is supposed to “get behind thee”?

If I decide to donate my organs knowing that some hospital and surgeons will profit handsomely off of my “free gift”, knowing that some hospitals will deny transplants due to the patients’ being unable to pay...then I want my surviving family to have a share in the profits as a legacy to them! You missed the other part...that I think transplantations should all be banned until a massive rethink is done as to why and how to do them in a way that is ethical and fair to all!

The major hospital systems for years have monetized the golden rule, knowing how to guilt folks into voluntary actions that the hospital systems then profit by.

Since you are a scripture quoter...then “eat” this one...Luke 16:”8The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. 9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.…”
