I have a mortician friend, and he and all of his coworkers are in complete opposition to organ donation citing that what the bodies go through is basically human mutilation.
I was previously in favor of donating, but after hearing that a lot goes to waste, bodies are ruined from the chin down and PVC pipe is used to replace bones to look like a body for the funeral I have had some second thoughts.
How do you feel about the procedures used for obtaining donated organs/tissues? After witnessing what happens to bodies, did you have any second thoughts about donating yourself? How much of donated bodies are actually used?
Thanks!
