Back decades ago when I was a new RN and worked in Inpatient Oncology, we dealt with organ transplant frequently, usually corneal donations.
I wondered then and wonder now why every associated person, every organization and every facility- except the donor and family- gets some sort financial benefit from organ donation.

The reason the other orgs get money is that people do not generally or reliably work for strangers for free. Someone had to show up that day to fill out the paperwork, put the ice in the bucket, etc. Like you were being paid to show up and be the RM. The kidney donation process doesn’t require labor from the family. And when you start paying for things like body parts it gets dangerous.

I think that issue should be addressed.
