re: Organ donation : could you donate your child’s organs.

As an old ER nurse I don’t know how much profit we are talking about. To cause a hospital to harvest organs off of a person who is salvageable. Traumatic deaths. Blunt force trauma arrests? VERY FEW survive.
It’s awful for everyone involved. ER nurses aren’t going to be ok with making the calls to organ places on a child that can be saved.
To answer the question, yes. I would donate my child organs. I have seen enough to know dead or no fricking dead. If there’s a chance I am not signing. In my experience when there is no chance, it’s pretty damned obvious.

Documented cases of hospital workers doing the bare minimum when fresh organs are on the table. That's what.
You guys spend too much time on the internet. If there are doctors purposefully letting patients die to harvest an organ they probably less than 1 in a million.

It doesn't even make sense logically. A doctor is going to let their patient die to transplant the organ to someone else who's dying? Transplants aren't a sure thing. Seems like it'd be easier to just save the patient in front of you

What?
Not that I ever wish that kind of pain on any person, ive raised my children to leave a place better then what you found it.
Absolutely without a doubt

And what motivation does a hospital have to save your child’s life when they stand to profit but the organ harvesting.
I am the recipient of a “young kidney” (surgeon’s words). I volunteer for Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency and spoken to a mother who suffered the unexpected death of her teenage son. She donated his organs and is now close with several of his recipients. She describes it as very rewarding, and her experience is not unique. Whether you believe in donating your child’s organs or not is your decision, but the above statement is absolutely false and should not be a factor in your or anyone else’s decision.

Several years ago I worked with a guy that lost his 16 YO daughter in a car accident. The family donated her organs and one of the saddest things I've ever experienced is when he would bring a letter to work and read it to us about how organ XYZ from his daughter was able to do XYZ for the recipient.
Poor guy would read that and cry (understandably) and it was just so sad to see a fellow human suffering like that. He would tell us that it was helping he and his wife get through the loss but damn...still sad.

I had a coworker that had to do it after a drunk hit her daughter walking home at night from the movies in college. It was brutal and still is for her to this day. But she is given some respit from her intense grief knowing that some other families did not have to go through the hell of losing a child like she did because her daughter was a donor and she went through with it.

I've seen it twice up close.

When my teens became drivers they all put on their licenses that they would be organ donors
I never tell my wife that she cannot do something since she’s an adult. I did tell her to not put organ donor on her license. She understands.
My daughter is 16 and I told her that she will not have that on her license. Not up for debate.

It would be OK with me but I would have final say on who would get what.
Not gonna donate a kidney/liver to an alcoholic that ruined theirs.

You can't understand that parents might not be able to bear the thought of their child being dissected?

Absolutely. I'm a tad biased because I am a transplant recipient. You don't need them when you're gone. Might as well help make someone else's life, or even multiple people's lives better by donating.

You can forget that then. UNOS makes the matching decisions, and they are anonymous. The recipient hospital will have chosen the transplant recipient through their transplant selection committee, AKA God committee.
You can possibly meet the recipient later, usually at least a year later, but that requires mutual agreement.

This right here is why I would have made a different decision. Glad you're with us, baw!
