Re: Organ donating? What are the cons?
I agree that you have the right *not* to donate your organs, and I hope this never changes.
However, not donating your organs solely because you're worried that someone you don't like might get them is a little shortsighted. I was reading today that up to 250 people can be helped with the organs harvested from 1 person. Surely the fact that most of the people that are being helped by your donation are *not* people who you'd want to see dead is a good enough reason to donate? Keeping in ming the fact that you'll be dead and will no longer have any use for the organs yourself.
I agree that you should be able to donate organs to specific people if you so desire -- but *only* if the people you specify are family members. I wouldn't want to see a system where rich people can pay for organs and poor people are totally out of luck. I know a lot of posters on here will disagree with me on this point.
