Wow, that's so creepy and evil. The glorification of the euthanasia/organ donation combo.
This whole topic first came on my radar when I heard an interview with a man whose baby nearly drowned. He eventually found treatment that worked, and his son is doing fine. But the hospital, instead of helping his son with treatments, just pushed for organ donation.
From https://drownedbaby.org/organ-donation/:
Shortly after Robert was revived and moved to the PICU we met the LifeGift vultures. They came into the room several times a day encouraging organ donation with all sorts of catchy phrases and euphemisms. They even offered to throw a ‘Life Party’ if Robert didn’t make it and we decided to donate his organs. We were still processing Robert’s accident and nowhere near giving up and their cheery presence and lack of hope in Robert angered us. I finally told them that Robert’s organs would go in the grave with him, to get out and not to come back.
I think it would be really interesting to learn about the financial incentives here. I'll bet they're very dirty.

It's happening in New Zealand, too. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360914944/rosemarie-knew-she-was-dying-she-made-choice-saved-three-lives
