The only thing that bothers me is the financial aspect. I knew a person on a transplant team, and he once mentioned (12-15 years ago) that kidneys were $35,000 apiece, and people usually donated two at once. And kidneys are only one of the organs harvested.
So until I find out where that money goes, I'm not going to be a donor. My family could benefit from some of it.
P.S. Did you also know that a great many valuable substances are harvested from the placenta? The law says once it's out of the woman, it belongs to the hospital.
Someone once sued and lost a case of this nature. Again, until I find out who gets that money, I'm not a donor.
