Frankly I'd be OK with that, even though I'd rather die than have them harvest my organs and desecrate my corpse. I guess being at the bottom of the queue is not that bad a price to pay for that, it's only fair. I'm against an opt-out system, though. I don't think the default should be for people to cut pieces out of someone, and I think most people wouldn't want that.

> Frankly I'd be OK with that, even though I'd rather die than have them harvest my organs and desecrate my corpse I'd love it if you could elaborate on this position. In contrast, I feel like once I'm dead, my body has served its purpose, and if it can do some final good through donation, all the better. It would be interesting to hear more about your perspective. > I don't think the default should be for people to cut pieces out of someone, and I think most people wouldn't want that. This doesn't seem to be true, at least in the US and UK (although the US is/was right around 50%): https://www.organdonor.gov/dtcp/nationalsurveyorgandonation.pdf https://www.organdonor.gov/dtcp/nationalsurveyorgandonation.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-17226610 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-17226610
