no, because not everyone has organ's good enough to be used. It is also a persons right to keep or donate there organs.

I think that would help a lot. When you renew your driver's license, then you would fill out a form that would disallow it.
-
But why? The only reason I see this being effective is to sort of trick people into organ donation by daunting them with forms. It's also much easier to look up if someone signed up to be an organ donor than to look up who didn't sign up to be an organ donor, since, at least at the moment, you have more people not signing up to donate their organs.

Myself, I am an organ donor and my family knows my wishes on that subject. My husband doesn't like it, but it is my body and I will choose what is done with it. Forcing people to give their body parts. I can see no good coming from that.

No I don't think it should be compulsory. Organ donation is a personal decision made by individuals. Nobody should feel forced into giving up their organs or be made to sign confusing forms when they don't want to. The best way to make your wishes known are to tell your family and to have a living will made and stipulate it in that. Assign one person to be your power of attorney over your living will (somebody you trust will carry out the decisions you made). This gives that person the legal power to carry out your wishes.

No..organ 'donation' should be just that..a donation. Something an individual decides to do or not to do and should not have to fill out forms in order to prevent their body parts being taken when it is possibly against their wishes/beliefs. I am 100% in favor of organ donation...100% against it being done (forced) unless otherwise specified by filling out a form.

No. Organs are yours to keep, if you want to donate them, then you can make that choice but not the other way around. The system is just fine the way it is.

I would like to see a system where you Opt Out if you don't want. I have been an organ donor for as long as I can remember and personally cannot understand why a person wouldn't want to help save the life of another person after they have died. It is all down to choice but a lot of people who are happy to donate their organs, haven't registered or haven't made their next of kin aware of their wishes in the event of death. Opting out would make it easier for relatives after death and for surgeons who have the awfull job of asking the grieving family for permission.

I don't see anything wrong with that idea! I mean, you're dead, you don't need them anymore. I think it's awful that sometimes family members can refuse to donate someone's organs, a lot of the time just because they're upset and can't imagine their son's/daughter's (whoever) organ still alive in someone else's body. I guess , just make sure you make it well known what your wishes are, whether it's for or against. Personally, even if my relative was against it and it was my decision, I would still do it. Like I said, they're dead...

I beleive it should be a personal decision.I myself am a donor and I have a living will stipulating it!If my children were to pass~ God forbid~ I will also donate their organs.There is too long of lists for people waiting for viable donations and if I can help another,even after death, I will!
-
I was always told that if you're an organ donor & God forbid you're in an accident, they wouldn't try & save you as much. I want my organs donated but only my family knows that
-
Well, I wouldn't want it to be compulsory. That would open a door to dangerous territory politically speaking, I think. I myself am a donor. I figure "Hey, if I'm dead or mortally wounded (and you've done your best to save me) they're not doing me any good. Let me pass on, and give someone else a second shot." Personally, if I ever get to be a vegetable, I plan on including it in my living will (I don't have one just yet) to let me fade, and pass on what little I have to give to someone else.

A donation can not be made compulsory. If it were compulsory it would be considered a tax of sorts.
