To me everyone should be. Think it’s kind of selfish to let viable organs go to waste when people are in need for them.

    I’ve got a family member who has heard tell of folks having their organs harvested while still alive, and that’s enough for them to say no. Helps them sleep at night, so fair enough. Your peace of mind has value.

    Also I think maybe the catholics are against it? It would fit their whole schtik. Can’t day I care enough about what they think to find out though.

      While it is the right thing to do, it’s the final fuck you from hospital corporations as you still get billed for everything before death, and they bill the recipient >$1M. Organ donation is big money.
