Question Regarding Organ Donors

I considered it a number of years ago, and came away with the understanding that the procedure was covered by the recipient's insurance. I probably couldn't find that in a year, but I am fairly certain of the information.

On the donor's families; in the remote chance the donor's family could be sued, it would only be to the extent of a claim against the estate. You would need legal confirmation of that.

According to what I located from he Dept.of Health and Human Services, you, as a donor pay nothing. Those costs are covered by the person or persons receiving an organ.

Your replies are consistent with what I would consider common sense. I am going to do a living will in the near future.

Something to consider:

Organs aren't suitable for transplantation if you don't die in a hospital.

That's because they are ready in the hospital to get at them while still warm.
