Its very Fox.

“Given that half of all euthanasia cases in Belgium are involuntary, it must be only a matter of time before the organs are taken from patients who are euthanized without their consent,” Saunders told The Telegraph. “The matter of fact way the retrieval process is described in the paper is particularly chilling and shows the degree of collaboration that is necessary between the euthanasia team and the transplant surgeons – prep them for theater next to the operating room, then kill them and wheel them in for organ retrieval."

Yeah, and I bet they teabag them too, just for the lulz.

If you believe that a doctor or nurse would care enough about a patient to murder someone else to get their organs, well....I don't know what to say.

Well, it's long been rumoured that certain prisoners in china are executed when others might not be, and by co-incidence those prisoners are matches for certain high ranking officials and/or Westerners who are on "the list".

This could always be internet tin foil hat speak of course, but I have little doubt that there are those who would try to ensure that they or their loved ones lived at the expense of others.

And as long as organ donation is voluntary, then all is well is it not?

That does not sound very tinfoilhat, that sounds very Chinese.
