Organ Donors Memorial

If they complain there is a shortage of organ donors, how about crediting them where credit is due. Hospitals should have organ donor memorials: not just symbolic statues, but ones with names like a war memorial. All people who sign up to be organ donors should automatically qualify, whether or not their organs are harvested and save another persons life (given the potentially large number of such people, maybe these people should be in a computer terminal or printed volume... that said, they do have to die first). Special mention should be given to those whose organs do save anothers life. Everyone from director to key grip gets immortalized in film credits, why is there this idea that people don't desire some gratitude for signing away their organs? I am told some doctors won't try to save you under certain circumstances if you are an organ donor. Whether or not that is a valid concern, you and I don't know so the least they can do is give something back in the form of gratitude.

I think a lot of recipients probably couldn't care less where the organ came from, the backstory of the person who gave them it, only 'special cases' would and you would tend to hear about these special cases as they would be newsworthy. Most people are sacks of *beep* who tread all over people in life (even when they think they're saints). Mandatory organ donorship is designed just for these people. They think they are entitled to it, don't have to earn it with being a good person to others. In some cases, prolonging a persons life may even harm or even kill another: those who drive people to suicide through redundancy or digging into and belittling them, and possibly even murderers.

(If anyone wants to debate the badness of my moral character, bear in mind I don't want to be a recipient of anothers organ. I also signed up to be an organ donor already.)
