You don't say why you want to do this.

I think it's perfectly fine and respectable for someone who opts out of donation to decide for themselves, when the issue faces them, that they won't take a life saving organ.

That's very different from mandating and coercing organ donation in order to be eligible.

Right now, organ donations go to those with the greatest need. You are saying, well no it shouldn't go to people who aren't moral according to my philosophy.

I think you have to consider how that could go wrong, and who might be considered the wrong sorts of people, the sort of people who don't deserve to be treated.

Who might prominent political figures decide are immoral, abnormal, unproductive, unworthy, or unpatriotic?
