I worked on a transplant ICU for a few years and saw some amazing things there.

And you are right....families can intervene and "trump" the donation process. So speaking to them is inmportant. If there is any dissent things most likely will not work out as everything must move quicly for the obvious reasons. And rightfully so. The day organ donation is enforced is a bad day.
