I think part of the problem is that even when the deceased has themselves marked as an organ donor, say on their drivers' licenses, the family of the deceased can (and do) impose their own refusal to allow the organ donation.

Which makes me wonder what's the point of the organ donor mark on a DL?

I have made it very clear to my entire family (promising to haunt them and not in a nice way if they refuse to honor my wishes), and in a living will as well, that my entire body is to be used for organ donation.

[-YYZ-]

I can't understand why anyone would refuse to donate organs, other than a specific religious belief that forbids it. What use does anyone have for them after they're dead?

OTOH, I understand that doctors are sometimes (often?) hesitant to bring the topic up with the family of a dying or deceased person.

FWIW, I signed mine and have made it clear to my family that I want my organs donated. They may not be in the best of shape given the abuse my body has taken, but people who need organs aren't usually too picky.
