The real and serious problem with this is that the organ donation process biases the medical profession into declaring you "dead" as soon as possible, and ideally even sooner, so that your organs are as fresh as possible.
- mikeash 10y agoDoes this actually happen? I see this concern mentioned several times here, but always as a hypothetical. Has there been any research done to see if donors do indeed receive inferior care?
- ta1029384756 10y agoHow could you gather this data, and who could publish the study and be trusted by the public?
