If I want my organ, be it an eye, a testicle or a kidney to go to a good home, should I not be selective in whom it is transplanted?

Why should some homeless guy, or some sadsack, hourly wage earner get a lifesaving organ of mine, either now, or after death, if someone who deserves it alot more can afford to OUT-Bid them all?
I had an uncle who needed a liver. He was just the biggest waste of flesh you can imagine, believe me. I was asked to take some test back in 1995 for "typing"... I said "hell no, not for this jerk"...
And he died. No loss, believe me.

@@@Why can't I have some say in who gets my eyes, my heart, my liver?

And why can't my dependants profit from this? This is American, This is Capitalism, at its purest.!

I see absolutely no need to give lifesaving organs to a drunk like my uncle Bill, or eyes to a child abuser, or my kidney to an alcoholic. Why does some third party get to decide who gets my organs?
Makes me not want to donate.

SORRY.

i understand what u r saying, but we humans are not capable of being able to distinguish which life is more important. will we save the kid who has down syndrome or the important business man?

there is just so many people who need organs that they go by who needs it most and have a system of delivering it to people. as for giving a new liver to a drunk they will not do this. my uncle is on the waiting list for a liver but he needed to quit drinking before they would give it to him.
