Under what circumstances would anyone possibly be against it?
Full disclosure: I am a donor recipient. |

Yes, my whole family is. I see only selfish reasons to not be a donor.

In my opinion, those who are not donor should be automatically restricted from receiving donated organs under any circumstance. It should also be an "opt out" system and not opt in. You should automatically be a donor when you are issued your drivers license unless you choose to opt out. |

Its one of those things you have to really be educated on. There are some people who still believe that docs will "let you die" if they find out you are a donor.  |

My wife and I both are--Illinois puts it on your drivers license if you opt in.
Edit: I used to be an enthusiastic and avid blood donor too. Sadly, the Red Cross no longer wants my blood, due to the anti-gun attitude of the local facility manager. |

If Jim Bob needs a liver, his doctor has one to transplant one into him, and Jim Bob has the money to pay for it, it's really no one else's business if Jim Bob is, himself, an organ donor. Organs are a limited commodity. A commodity with a price control (price limited to $0). Your solution is to mandate supply by forcing everyone to be an organ donor? Jeez, why on earth would anyone think that was communistic?

You aren't willing to donate but are perfectly willing to benefit from other's donations? Fuck off hypocrite. Opt out or opt in, that's your choice. The supply of donated organs is very limited because of so few donors. If it was an opt out system instead of an opt in one the supply would increase dramatically. |

Not even 10 minutes after I'd sat holding my Mom's hand and talking to her as she passed away I was told that I had a call at the nurses station. I thought it must be a family member calling. Motherfucking scumbag wanting ALL of my mother's organs. Nevermind the fact that none of her organs were useful, not even her corneas.

Fuck you Oh man, that's rough. Sorry to hear that, brother. I can sort of relate: when my dad passed away, I made the coroners promise that they wouldn't disrespect his body (ie toss him out of the vehicle, or slam him onto the table, etc). He was an organ donor too, but his were riddled with cancer. |
