    Also, fuck opt-in organ donor nonsense. You’re dead? Your organs aren’t destroyed or unusable? They should be donated. What are you going to do, complain about it? You’re dead.

      We have an opt-out system here, I opted out. I just don’t feel comfortable with it. Just out of curiosity, do you all think everyone should have a rationally sound argument for opting out?

        It’s your own body. If there is any sphere of the world in which having a non-rational/a-rational position on is totally valid, it’s your own body imo

            it’s not yours, yes - but it is you - or, it will have been you.
            Organs aren’t simple possessions to be utilized, they are what constitute you. Sure, you can look at the utility function of a bit of human tissue shaped into an organ and decide that it may better serve someone else at a point where you are no longer - but that decision should be your own conscious decision, in my humble opinion.

            I’m a donor myself, but I find it questionable to try and guilt or otherwise coerce or even worse, rationalize people into donating.
