Personally, when I am dead, I am dead and if they can use anything more power to them.

I think this is part of the price Canadians must pay for their universal healthcare. It may in fact lower costs for transplants, dialysis (because people maybe able to get transplants faster), heart disease and so on.

I don't see what the problem is unless it is a religious thing for you.

Now if they were to say, "we will harvest 1 of your kidneys while you are alive and anything we can use if you are comatose".... then it's a whole new ballgame.

But once you're dead your going to be at the mercy of the government anyway. And here in the US sites for graveyards are becoming less and less available.

Personally, I want my organs harvested and the rest of me cremated and 1/2 spread on a golf course and 1/2 spread in the Indians ballpark (provided Cleveland still has a team).

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
