I have refused to be an organ donor, knowing that there are philosophers around who constantly redefine what it means to be a person, and how they don’t think disabled and comatose human beings are sentient, worthy of protection, etc.

These people teach hospital personnel who are apparently putting the lessons into practice.

If it were otherwise, I would be an organ donor, and I know others who feel the same way.

If we could trust the hospital staff to make sure people were really dead before they sliced them open, we might have alot more available organs.

I don’t have any objection to somebody having my organs as long as I’m REALLY DEAD. But I WILL NOT be killed off just to get to them.

I have refused to be an organ donor,

Eventually, we won't have a choice in the matter.
