I'm not due to an irrational fear that doctors won't work as hard to save my life if I'm in a catastrophic accident once they know I'm a donor.
My dad’s best friend feels this way. Cracks me up
I know for a fact their fears are unfounded.

I know it's irrational, but you can't possibly know it as a fact.

I know they are, when he told me that I had never heard of that reason before, thought it was kinda funny.

Oh really? Despite documented evidence to the contrary? Here is one story where the patient was being given less treatment because they wanted his organs.

While it may not happen a lot, it does happen and is something that is often difficult to prove.
Move dealt with physicians hat constantly use he potential for organ harvesting in their decision making process for trying to save a patient. Much of the time, they’d rather not try things that would compromise the organs if it’s a bleak outlook which is counter to their jib to do everything to save the person.
I say this as an organ donor myself, but to say that specific concern is unfounded is just stupid and giving hospitals and physicians too much credit.
