Can't we evolve? That's an old law, and it fails to incent individuals to take better care of their "inventory." (only partly tongue-in-cheek.)

It's not about incentive Cyrnel, as soon as you start putting a price on the organs they have a value and that value starts to inflate. There'll be an organ donation union demanding more money, soon the hospital bill is chump change compared to the price of the organs and everything the NODA meant to prevent is happening.

I'm not missing the point... I am an organ donor... I have also donated gallons of blood, and have donated bone marrow more than once... I have little patience for people who dont.
However, I also don't think that the government has the right to have any say in what happens to my organs when I die. I have a will to dispense with my assets, I have a living will to decide what happens when I am in that situation. It's my choice, that choice is not made for me by someone else. By having an opt out, that choice becomes less mine.

Why should it matter if you choose on your own or if you choose to be in agreement with a law? That sounds kinda vain although I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be coming from you, mal.
