“Who on this thread has indicated a general opposition to organ donation?”
I dunno, read through the thread. Several people have stated that they would not sign an organ donor card. That’s certainly one way to make your own wishes on the subject known if the worst should happen. Of course, I’ve also informed my family of my willingness to donate.
At least one person appears to have indicated their opposition to transplantation in general.
I will NEVER sign an organ donor card. However, I have an advanced medical directive that makes it very clear that I wish to donate my organs.
Talk to any lawyer who specializes in these matters, they will tell you about the major differences between an attorney preparing medical directives and using boilerplate forms from a hospital or organ donor cards.
I seem to vaguely remember the news report of a Jewish woman, who was opposed to organ transplatation on religious grounds, suing a dr and hospital because they harvested from her dead husband without her permission. He also had NOT signed a donation card of any type. They had taken his corneas and said it was common practice at that hospital even without permission.
