I feel the same. I used to be an organ donor and changed my status after some egregious case. And there are many egregious cases, everything from rich people getting priority for organs to organs being taken without permission and people making money off the deal.
Too bad. The money men want to privatize everything, they can damn well pay me if they want my organs.
I don't expect anyone to give me theirs, either. btw.
I hope to avoid funeral parlors as well.
