Organs removed after Autopsy WITHOUT consent or knowledge, then thrown away like garbage
Do you agree that there should be a law that requires coroners and medical examiners to tell family members when they plan to retain parts of a body (from a NON Organ Donor) after an autopsy? “The only exception would be when notification would interfere with a criminal investigation.

The stories coming in from grieving families are gut-wrenching and prove that these medical examiners are operating with zero accountability. I am refusing to let these officials hide behind their bureaucracy while they treat our loved ones like disposable trash.

The momentum behind this is proof that families are finally fed up with the cold indifference of coroners who treat our loved ones like disposable biological waste. The system is operating in the dark and we are going to force them into the light.

UNACCEPTABLE. The families have basic rights and this is a total violation of trust.
This is completely heartless. How can they just do this behind a grieving familys back? Needs to stop now.
Yes I do. Parents and spouses have a right to know. Unless otherwise noted by deceased.
I think that is so wrong if they don't concent to it it shouldn't be done. Unless the family is asked.
No parent should go through what this mother has since her sons death. Please sign and share to bring this to life for Justin and his Mom Donna
Keep fighting
That’s just wrong...

This is appalling why would any family have to suffer through this. Much love and condolences to the family and hoping this one makes it through.
