I have a friend that works for the ME's office. Not long after she got the job, she removed her organ donor status off of her driver's license because of what she found out at the ME's office. It's just as you say, and some of the bodies are pretty, well shall I say, scavenged before they are released.
Also, had a neighbor who had a heart attack. Just a run if the mill heart attack and not a widow maker. He had been a pretty healthy guy up to that point and was only about 50. He should have fully recovered. He was in stable condition and was admitted. When he was settled in, his wife decided to finally go home to get some rest. She gets a call in the middle of the night saying he coded and she rushed back to the hospital. She was met with a barrage of people convincing her he was now in a coma and brain dead. He had organ donor status on his DL. They pressured her into signing the paperwork for organ donation because they needed to act quickly to salvage his organs, blah, blah, blah. She was in a state of shock and no one was with her to act as a set of brakes.
After the initial shock of losing her husband and the dust had time to settle, she realized that they killed him. The hospital was one of the major research institutions for transplantation at the time. She hired an attorney and sued the hospital. The hospital was not expecting her move and were stalling on releasing his records Believe it or not, she managed to get into the hospital's record keeping section and she stole his medical records before they could have time to change them - pretty gutsy. This was back in the day before everything went digital. Nowdays, you would be SOL. Don't know what happened to the case after that because I moved. The last I heardt the hospital was trying to settle with her quietly but she wasn't playing along.
I never had an organ donor status and never will. It is huge business world wide. You don't have to be a Uighur in China to become prey to this barbaric practice. There is plenty taking place right here in the US.

Thanks for telling the story.
