Reply #11: My funeral director uncle says differently [View All]

[Nikia]

I don't want to discourage DUers to donate organs and I am glad that your patients have been treated with respect. My uncle is a funeral director though and has said that many of the organ donors are hacked apart and that it makes it difficult to have an open casket showing. He called them butchers.
Is there a way of making sure that the local transplant team does treat the newly deceased as a surgical patient rather than just a vessle of the desired organs? Can a family take legal action if their loved one was severely maimed during organ harvesting?
I know that after I am dead that I don't need my body and that there are many ways of death which could put the body in far worse condition. It's a concern though.
