Seems to me like this would be an easy way to incentivise the donation of body parts at death. Of course some peoples' bodies are worth donating. But those would be exceptions to the rule that could handled somehow. My goal would be to do away with organ waiting lists by bumping up supply via putting something in it for the would-be donors.Should people who agree to donate their organs on death get preference when needing an organ?
What might sound fair might not be logical,doctors prefer to give the organ to a person younger and stronger that will not die in a few years,a friend of mine who was declared brain dead in Chicago because of a pool hall fight,was Chicago's first heart transplant,his heart was donated to an older person that had been waiting for awhile,that person I heard after complications lasted only six months because his body rejected it and by being older made it tougher to fight it
wow. no is the answer. sounds like a crual agreement to me.
It depends upon the information where you inform
If you would be a candidate to receive a organ, then that organ would not be a good donor. Overall, donors have a policy of not being preference to those who come with money, privilege, etc. but totally on the merit of the worthiness and need as a candidate. There would also be the incentive toward dishonesty by those with the intention to deceive that they would donate, just to get preferential treatment under your proposal. I see everyone needing signing up to donate. The reality is that a need recipient might not be a good donor for health reasons.
