When I was a medical intern, we had a teenager dying, don't remember why, but his organs were okay. I vividly remember the daily meetings where my superiors discussed how to pressure his parents to 'donate' his organs. They refused, so the docs got increasingly pissed and increased pressure. They were so eager to gut that poor kid. I can't imagine how his parents must have felt. Don't remember how it ended since it was a while back. but it was disgusting. They also let middle aged people with kidney failure die because dialysis was too expensive even though it would have saved them. Shit like this was one reason I later left the field.
Yeah, i discovered it though actual association in the field as well. I was floored with some of the stories I would hear about how eager hospital executives could get some times. Especially when they needed a specific organ as a favor for some person of high status, who could boost the image of the hospital.
It's not lost on me that organ donation can save lives but what I think should be standard is a universal agreement of when it should be done. Even more so in an age where human greed, self-service, and ego, has become so prevalent.
