- jbluepolarbear 6y agoI still think that needs to be opt in. I am an organ donor because I don’t care what happens to my body when I die, but I know a lot of people that do care and it should still be their decision.
- BLKNSLVR 6y agoNot directed at you jbluepolarbear, asking questions to the void. It's an interesting philosophical topic. But is it your body once you're dead? Do you even get to care at that point? What literal difference does it make to you, after death? What are you going to do about it? I've been able to capture brief moments in which I've been able to grasp the completeness of the lack of agency that death brings. It's simultaneously chillingly horrifying and freeing.

- hansel_der 6y agoonce organ donation ist opt-out, it is very hard to deny the economical incentive to "not find the opt-out", withold treatment or prematurely declare death especially for patients of lower status/rank/credit. i don't think this is a path any scociety would want to go.
