I’m curious. What gives Sir Liam, or anyone else, the right to coerce charity? When they do this with taxes, many scream about theft. But if it’s the body’s organs, then I guess it’s OK?

I’m being a little sarcastic, but the erosion of freedom (should this come to the U.S.) is still the erosion of freedom. That includes the freedom to be selfish.

well you can be selfish all you want by just signing an Opt Out card. Your choice. No problem.

I think you’ll find that the same people who object to theft thru taxes also object to mandaatory organ donations, and vice versa. In general.
