Disgusting.

#3> Medical examiners say among their hardest decisions is whether to allow companies to recover organs or tissues from bodies of children...
Why are medical examiners the ones making these decisions?

Yeah, way to make people want to be organ donors. I'm willing to help someone who's got a bad kidney, but that? No way.
There's a big difference in giving up some body parts to save someone's life once you don't need them and getting sent to the glue factory to feed someone's vanity.

#5You body is worth a lot of money to your estate. By donating it someone in the medical industry gets to steal that money from your family then profit handsomely from it. That’s why I choose no for organ donation, the whole industry is corrupt and I don’t want to support it, even if it means that some unfortunate sick person is unable to buy my donated kidney for 50-100k in processing fees.

I mean, for a lot people, I imagine there isn't a difference. I'm going to remain an organ donor. It is said that Diogenes, when asked how he wished to be buried, left instructions to be thrown outside the city wall so wild animals could feast on his body. When asked if he minded this, he said, "Not at all, as long as you provide me with a stick to chase the creatures away!" When asked how he could use the stick since he would lack awareness, he replied "If I lack awareness, then why should I care what happens to me when I am dead?" At the end, Diogenes made fun of people's excessive concern with the "proper" treatment of the dead.

Wouldn't the solution be to allow the family to get payments when the donated body was used for cosmetic surgery? Couldn't laws state that the donated bodies must go first to those in need, second to medical schools and science, and lastly to cosmetic procedures?
Besides, a small portion of those procedures are for valid purposes. Accidents, birth defects, and so forth.

What a terrifyingly capitalistic view.

What’s terrifying about it? That it shatters your previous understanding of the industry or that it implies some medical dystopia?
Would you prefer to instead called it a terrifyingly rational view?

How we treat the dead has a profound effect on those that are still living.
If we just ground up your loved ones on death and turned them into fertilizer or corn feed for cows you might have a very dim view about life.
Funerals aren’t for the dead, they are for the living.
