I'm confused- we're talking about post-mortem organ donation... What quality of life are you referring to? Quality of life for living donors? How does that apply in a discussion where the donors have passed away?
- temp667 6y agoPost mortem the arguments are even easier then. More organ donors would be a good thing, give folks $100 one time gift card for signing up - you'd have a ton of folks do that and the cost is tiny. Maybe $2,500 to help with funeral expenses if you scoop all their organs out and sell them for $2.6M (that's probably average billed charges for a heart / kidney transplant). Reality - the folks with the money (transplant surgeons, athletic directors in colleges) and their supporters here will NEVER share with the folks running around on courts and fields (college athletes) or providing the organs or whatever. You actually see this pattern over and over, usually with a fair bit of suffering on the side (folks not able to get transplants, injured college athletes etc).
