I like to believe I own myself. I am not interested in any legal procedure where an official of the medical establishment can declare my personal ownership no longer valid and harvest 2 million dollars revenue from my still warm body. The couldn't do it with my car and it is wrong to do it with my corpse.

The day my family receives a life insurance style settlement for my death I will consider it. But not if you cut my people out of the deal.

It's reasonable enough - which is why it isn't morally right to force this on anyone. (& I do think people should get paid for their organs)

Given your unwillingness to donate organs, would you consider it morally wrong to be given an organ if you needed one?
