#3 They did not take the heart. It was a close thing, though.

The lesson being: Do Not Overdose in Kentucky. Sadly, it isn’t likely that any addicts at all will pay attention.

#5 Might be an introspective moment for the potential donor.

#6 Some people are less than, to others.

Give those people a reason, say you lack certain purities, and they will gladly steal your organs and give them to someone they feel is more deserving. Dark, evil, and twisted.

There are a ton of stories out there, people on ventilators, post stroke, heart attack, ODs - people who were examined by medical folks, people who were cleared to have their organs harvested, but had determined family members or loved ones advocating on their behalf.

The stories always start, I wouldnt be here today... always end, I am no longer an organ donor.

Outliers? Does it matter? I wouldnt want to be an outlier here. But you do you.

Random cherry pick from internet:

They were going to take my organs. I was on a ventilator and thankfully my mom drove 13 hours to help me and she removed consent. Here I am to this day. If my mom hadn't gotten there just in time I wouldn't be here. The transplant team had already examined me and was ready. Be careful. I'm no longer an organ donor.

#7 You think a medical establishment that will lop off someone's personal parts while still under 10 years old has any 'ethics' not to harvest organs?
