Social wellfare only for people agreeing to donate organs? Sorry, but turning human body parts into a regular currency does not sound like an acceptable idea to me.
Also, this. Organ donations miust be taken from biologically living bodies. Not dead bodies. There is a correlation to be seen between the death criterion being moved "forward" in time, and progress being made in transplantation medicine. The more progress there was, the easier a body was declared "dead".
For this, but also for other reasons, I have done two things. I have written a patient'S provision and have a note in my wallet where it is. My parents also have a copy of it. It specifies where I wish to recxeive medical treatment, and from what condition or situation on i just want to receive pain-reducing medication, but not being kept alive. Second I have a donor card that says that I do NOT donate organs - and that I do not wish to receive any organs.
The Chinese have a saying: if you save somebody's life, you are responsible for him from that time on. I think there is truth in it - and I think it has two faces.
