I read awhile back that hospitals can earn as much as $500k per body for organ harvesting and they will encourage any sick or injured patient or family member of the patient to agree to it in advance 'if things go south'.
And some surgeons/docs WILL MAKE things go south if they think they can get away with it. They will sedate the patient so deeply they will not rouse and tell the family members that 'they are gone'.
Remember, the heart has to be beating and the body has to be alive in order to harvest a usable organ. So, the person is not anesthetized, but given a paralyzing drug so they don't move while they are cutting out body parts.

Horrible!
This is why I would never sign up to any organ doner bullshit.
I had to contact the state to revoke my organ donor status. I would only ever voluntarily donate any of my organs to save my immediate family.
