Indeed! Just wait till you hear about how the same doctors who pronounce that a patient is clinically dead and therefore suitable to have their organs harvested also often happen to work in the organ transplant industry. So even though they won't get to transplant that particular organ from that particular "dead" patient, they stand to benefit down the line when someone else in that same industry decides that a patient is ready for organ harvest.
And the organ donor card decision can't be overridden by loved ones who believe that you may not be quite dead yet.
I revoked my organ donor consent shortly after I learned this. I still want to donate my organs upon death, but now it's up to others who have no profit motive to carry through with my wishes.

Exactly. You want to state a political opinion, do it on your own time. You don't get to trash your employer's reputation while getting paid for it.
I can only assume that anyone supporting these BLM employees would have no problem with others wearing MAGA hats. Meanwhile, the customer gets caught in the crossfire while trying to check out their $6 asparagus water.
#24 I am an organ donor. I have faith in my family when and if the time comes, they will honor my wishes, and give every piece of me that can be donated to people in need. To me there is no greater gift at the end of life, giving others an opportunity at one. #32 | Posted by gracieamazed
Nothing wrong with trusting in your family or wanting to share your organs. Like I said, I also wish to donate my organs if they are of any use to someone else. But your family has no choice in the matter once you sign an organ donor card.
Where you've signed an organ donor card, it's up to the doctors to declare you dead, sometimes without the input of your family, and send your organs along their way. And doctors sometimes have their own motivations to speed along that process ("In what transplant experts believe is the first such case in the country, prosecutors have charged the surgeon [...] with prescribing excessive and improper doses of drugs, apparently in an attempt to hasten Mr. Navarro's death to retrieve his organs sooner.")
