[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read the New York Times article, but I live a big medical town. There is a nonprofit called Southeast tissue alliance that gets the donations from the families then the donated tissue is given to a fortune 500 company that is local that processes and resells the tissue for medical use.

We’ve had some articles in our local paper about the tissue, not being treated respectfully at the fortune 500 company. I.e. tissue was dropped off, but no one was working at receiving and the tissue just rotted outside.

I’m troubled that the families make no money on donating their loved ones organs and tissue. The nonprofit gets their costs reimbursed from the fortune 500 company fortune 500 company makes profit from resale of the tissue for medical use.[/quote]

The money in our healthcare system is disgusting. I understand the need for cost recovery for transportation and medical needs. But why are we trying to figure out how to make a buck off of some dead person organs. It’s disturbing. [/quote]

Most other developed countries isn't like the US. They spend way less and have much better care. The US is shameful.  [/quote]
