Default Re: Organ donating? What are the cons?

They actually replace the bones and everything else taken with prosthetics and sew the body back up so no one viewing in a funeral-type setting can tell anything was done. Also if, when you die, you get an autopsy, the ME is going to do a lot of cutting, removing and replacing of various parts anyways.

I'm kind of giving you the unfiltered version of what happens but personally I would rather know exactly what is going to happen instead of some white-washed story on behalf the organ donation network

It's definitely something everyone should discuss with family so that your personal wishes are known ahead of time. My parents actually put their wishes it into our family trust/will. It solves a lot of problems later on and family members are less likely to squabble over the ethics of it if they know the person's views prior to their death.
