I've had nasty rows with several people because I refuse to be an organ donor. They accuse me of being heartless and selfish and refuse to consider my reasoning.

Stories like this one vindicate my decision. .

I avoid those arguments. I just tell people that I smoke, drink, and eat high-cholesterol foods. You don’t want my organs!

I don't have rows with anyone about whether I donate my body. I refuse to do it. Until they pay my family for the organs. I mean it. While hospitals, doctors, nurses, anesthetists, etc. all get paid for using my organs why should my family not get a cut?

Note to anyone wanting to point out my selfishness. Don't bother. I was a donor till I read stories about how much is costs the insurance companies to cover these operations. Someone gets that money why shouldn't my family get some of it?

“They accuse me of being heartless “

Just tell them if they mistakenly took your organs “too early”...you certainly would end up being “heartless”!
