I hate to admit this, but this case is precisely why I refuse to sign an organ donation card.

Selfish? Yes indeed.

Me too.

I work in health care, and I won’t sign a donor card either.

I know how callous some of my coworkers and doctors are: I don’t want them EVER to decide that my “quality of life” won’t be worth living, and that several other “deserving” people will better benefit from my vital organs.

Since when is it selfish to control ownership of your own body? I expect even control of your own flesh will eventually be taken by the state. Wasn’t there another thread about the UK making organ donation automatic unless you specifically file to opt out?
