I wouldn’t if it meant the organs were removed before giving the patient a chance to recover. If someone has to die so I can live, I’ll have my Maker to answer to. The ends don’t justify the means. To me, it is comparable to the embryonic stem cell debate. If I have a disease of condition that could be cured by taking the stem cells from a baby in the embryonic stage, I would just have to die. The same for taking organs from a person who could survive if given the time and chance. My life shouldn’t be more important than another’s.

Your Maker's son died so you can live. Should that example not be emulated? Any organ donor in the United States has expressed his or her wish to be a donor, and "no greater love than this," right?

Problem is, the organ "harvesters" would never tell you if they'd acted too hastily.

You know the old saying: Doctors bury their mistakes.

I agree with you. I won't donate my organs because of situations like in this article and I do not think that I could accept organs from someone whom I feel might have been murdered or their death hastened just so that their organs could be harvested.

If I accepted a donated organ, I don't think I could live with myself so it would be better to place myself in God's hands and let what will be, be.
