To me everyone should be. Think it’s kind of selfish to let viable organs go to waste when people are in need for them.

    Fwiw I’ve always liked it being opt-out over here in Belgium. In fact, among the European countries it’s just Germany and a handful of others that don’t do it that way.

    Being an organ donor isn’t a big deal when everyone is. On the political level it’s just a given.

    When my dad died he gave three other people an extended lease on life. It helps me to think about that sometimes.

    I can ‘get’ people feeling weird about getting picked apart once they’re dead. But the thing is, you won’t notice much. And they’re going to cut you open at the funeral home anyway. So you might as well go out paying it forward.
