The fact that it is both morally repugnant and ethically untenable does give it a certain Josef Mengele-like charm. However, from a medical viewpoint, the people dying in the ERs tend to be unhealthy, making them risky donors. Only young and healthy acute trauma victims and acute strokes and MIs in the healthy 55 or 60 and younger population are really acceptable, unless you would like a donor with hep, Aids, MRSA, TB, or some other unknown malady. Who knows what evil lurks in the body of that dead street person?
