Anyone who beliefs cryogenics will save them will surely make the proper arrangements, and will certainly register themself as a non-donor in any opt-out system. This is a non-issue if your mind is made up; you can opt-out, by design.
- loup-vaillant 10y agoOne may register for cryonics, and still donate organs. I'm not sure I need my heart, kidneys etc. for future reconstruction. Important information might be located in the gut, but I'm sure we can extract many organs without touching those neurons. Even then, I may be willing to sacrifice my hope of resuscitation to save lives today. And that's if I even bother registering for cryonics —as tempting as it is.
- emiliobumachar 10y agoMany cryonics solutions are head-only to save costs. So it's not mutually exclusive with organ donation. (by the way, I'm pretty sure that's what inspired the live heads in jars in Futurama.)
