As long as this practice is legal then I am unwilling to be an organ donor.

I'm curious, before you knew about this article, why were you willing to be an organ donor?
All of these comments are making me realise that the US is an incredibly low trust environment, where people think horrific things are going to happen to them without the their/or their families consent.

And who am I to judge? Maybe that is the reality.

Indeed, that is (allegedly) the case with organ donation: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/us/organ-transplants-dono...
