My problem is unethical dr's that want to remove organs on living (and presumably close to death/low "living quality" patients). As I've stated here before, I had this almost happen to my grandfather. His dr threatened to drop his care if my grandmother didn't sign off on them taking his organs while he still lived. She refused, got a resident, and my grandfather ended up recovering and living for another 3yrs.
