I had a friend years ago who believed that when you die and are buried, you had better have all of your organs. She thought you would need them in the afterlife.

As a Christian, I myself do not believe this type of doctrine. But, there are many people who do. And I believe it is up to their families to decide if organs should be DONATED or not.

Aren’t organ donor cards sufficient?

The law should be:

Those who are unwilling to donate their organs should not be permitted to receive donated organs.

Opening up the gates of heaven is what the appendix is really for. No appendix = welcome to hell.

I am very tempted to renounce my decision to be an organ donor if this goes through. The presumption that your body belongs to the State should leave anyone who loves liberty more than a little queasy.
