@Lyaen Doctors have no say over who donates organs or even if organs get taken by a placement coordinator and moved to any number of hospitals. This isn't the black market, it is a strictly regulated and audited industry with competitive employment and genuinely difficult certification requirements. And that's on top of already needing a wealth of experience in the Healthcare industry, with preference for those who are at the bedside. It is not your fault you are ignorant about the process either, and I truly don't hold it against you. Organ donation and the process behind it is very rarely taught or even talked about in a constructive or educational way, and it thus leads to misunderstandings like Doctors letting patients die so they can donate organs to someone who needs them more. That's just not how the donation process works, as Doctors have no control over where any individual or package organs go. More than that, there's never a guarantee that consent will be given to donate organs by the family, even if that person is an organ donor. The myth that Doctors let patients die to organ traffick is propoganda meant to shake your trust not just in Organ Donation services and the lives they save, but also in modern medicine and medical professionals as a whole by showing doubt and mistrust. I do not know the region you live in, or the service that would cover it, but the company I have had personal experience with a few years ago is called Cascade Life Alliance, and I can't recommend checking out their page enough. They have an entire subsection just about the donation process and what goes into donation as a whole. Please check it out, if nothing more than to broaden your horizons.

I know what it SHOULD look like. Thank you. I understand both sides. So to assume I haven't done my research + my experience and ignorantly picked aside is doing a lot of work in your argument against me. It being propaganda/myth to shake our trust in a system that doesn't need any help in that area. Doctors dismiss cases constantly ESPECIALLY against women, that end up being far more serious and by then it's too late. So is it far fetched to think that "Oh, look, an organ donor who I don't like for xyz reason is dying? Let me just 'try' to save-- oh nooo." Yeah, you take an oath to not do that. And yet people, mostly women again, are also raped when they're put under. So...yeah. I think it happens. To say there's no way it ever happens? Is the more ignorant take. I'll look into your company, but their web page could just as equally be propganda.
I don't enjoy having my viewpoint. I'm just world worn and weary of people. We have all kinds of rules and regulation in place for plenty of things and we're constantly seeing them ignored, paid off, or recieve taps on the wrist for what should be a life time jail sentence. So forgive me for being cynical, I guess. :) But I am not ignorant. I wish I was because then I could be happy.
