I really don't know the particulars of my friend's finances. We weren't that close and I only saw him once a week. The original post wasn't about this guy's life. It just got me thinking after his death and the organs were donated.

If it had happened to me, my family would be devastated as I have no insurance. This of course is a problem I need to solve asap.

Ultimately, I just don't understand why we can't do with our bodies whatever we want to as long as we aren't hurting anyone else. I also believe that the way to shorten the waiting list for organs would be to introduce incintives for people that need it. A win-win situation.

On a side note: I am a donor myself and I hope that I can pass that gift on to somebody one day regardless if I get paid for it or not.
