>She is quite certain that if anything, being a donor actually increases the likelihood of you being revived by medical staff, who would much rather revive you than have to deal with people telling them they didn't try hard enough.

Is there any kind of (independent) check for this? In my country (Germany) there has been collusion to get ones patients on the top of the recipient list. I wouldn't be surprised of there were similar collusions for the donor side.

I've also heard that recovery procedures differ from organ prevention procedures (at least you don't want to apply medication which potentially damage organs for a potential donor). How does one get assurances that the latter are not applied prematurely if you are a donor?
