re: doctors letting one die to save the other
doctors are strong moral characters, man. they don't just pick some homeless guy drunk crack smoker that's on the streets because they broke outta jail and got nowhere to go and say "hey, wanna be a doctor?" doctors take an oath that basically says "i will cause no harm." if it can be shown that they didn't try, with everything they had, to save a life, then they're in big shit. it's not just a job. yes, doctors are human, but they don't routinely just let people die. they try their best to save anyone that comes through the doors.
the fact of the matter is, if you don't want someone taking your organs, just say "i don't want 'em cutting up my body and taking my shit after i'm dead." it's *your* body - no one can tell you what you can and can't do with it. but an excuse of "i don't want to be more valuable dead than alive to a hospital" doesn't really fly. you're automatically more valuable alive because you're more likely to pay your bill that way! give doctors some credit.
