It's presumed that the family is going to want any property. It's also presumed that no one in the family is going to want the organs. They can't actually keep them so the only option is burying them with the person or donating them. It's still going to be their choice in case of missing proof.
AngelicVampire, going by your own logic, if organ donation was just presumed, there would not be a lack of organs and there would be no need "lose" a sticker, not to mention there's laws in place already to prevent people from this. Again, The process would STILL be Proof, Family, Government. So anyone who has a vehement objection still has the family to fall back on.
Extending life beyond what's natural? We are beyond nature, nature is letting dogs feed off your corpse when you die. We evolved and made our dead sacred, now our knowledge has evolved once again and we learned we can use the dead extend the life of the living but we still have a hard time letting go of old traditions and beliefs.
How is someone on the organ donor transplant selfish? The majority are probably the least selfish people on earth. They have spent the time in the hospital and they're humbled. They don't wish anyone to be as sick as they are and they know for them to live someone else has to die.
Cyrnel, your agruement is there's not enough beds in hospitals? With millions more donations and receiving It'll pay for expansion. it may be overwhelming in the beginning but they will adjust. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it shouldn't be tried.
FORCED Harvesting? Strong words there. It's hardly forced.
Angelic, You can choose to donate whichever organs you want, They monitor the organ waiting list, if someone on the lung transplant list smokes, they're disqualified, same with drinkers and other preventable reasons. They aren't just transplanting kidneys and dropping the patient off at the bar.
I can't stay here and argue all day I need sleep. I'll let everyone analyze everything I said, find the weak parts and point them out to me. Then you can remind me about everything I forgot about replying to and I'll catch up in the morning. :P
