Default Organ donating? What are the cons?

I think I am going to tell my family that I want to be an organ donor. Is there anything I should know before I do this? Is there any reason why I would not want to do this? Basically, if I'm dead, I don't see why I should mind them taking a few of my organs if it will help someone else who still has a shot at living. Maybe I'm missing an important detail though.

The hospital steals your soul along with your organs.

I dont really see any drawbacks, unless you are in a religion or have some family customs that strictly forbids not letting someone bury your "whole" body once you are dead. I know there are some very traditional Chinese people that still feel that way.

No. Do it. I have... although I'm too unhealthy for any part of my body to be of any use.

When Jesus brings you back to life, your life is going to suck without all your organs.

Since you won't have any control over who will get your organs when you die (that's how it works in Sweden anyway), you might end up saving the life of someone you would rather see dead.

It could be that, yes. I believe that I that own my body in the same way I own other material possesions, and if I can decline to let a certain person inherit my house or money for whatever reason I wish, I should have the same right when it comes to my kidneys.
