Cars basically have more effective rights than people.
Would the salvage value of a hospital patient be from their organs?
Pretty much.
There are people whose job is to be dispatched to traffic fatalities, check if they're an organ donor, begin harvesting.
Yup. I'm not an organ donor, because A. If you are, and you're injured, you don't get a say in what happens to you, but the organ donation team sure as hell will. They'll talk to everyone, the doctor, your family, the recipients family, all to convince them your not worth the effort so they can get your organs.
The other reason, B. is that it's a scam. They declare you 'brain dead', take your organs, then sell them to hospitals who are reimbursed by insurers. A life is saved, the hospital makes money, the doctors make money, the organ harvesters make money, insurance makes money. Your family gets fucking nothing,
If you want my organs so that some rich shit bag can rape kids for another 5-10 years, your going to fucking pay. Rather your insurance is going to fucking pay. And if they don't want to buy the ticket, then you shouldn't get to take the ride.
Organ donation is just a way to slaughter the young and poor to benefit the old and rich. They'll gladly reduce your life span by 40 years to add another month to the life span of Zuckerberg, Bezos, Trump, or some other child raping traitor.
Don't forget the literally vampiric plasma "donation" industry.
You know your town's made it (to the bottom) when one of those sets up shop.
Yeah, and I work in healthcare, so I also know that the blood bank is charging the hospital a few grand for the plasma that you donated for peanuts.
Either medical care is socialized(which it should be) or it's for profit... And in that case no one should EVER donate anything.
Businesses can pay just as much as everyone else.
