I used to feel similarly about the thought of donating organs myself, until a family member donated a kidney to me,...2 months ago today.
If he wants to risk his life to save mine, I have no objection to him doing so. I also have no objection to him refusing to do so, since it's his body and his choice as to how much risk to assume to save the life of a stranger.

I don't object to other people donating organs, if that's their choice. I simply choose not to donate mine, which IMO is my choice. Personally I don't wish to take the risks that come with having part of my body removed, not to mention, being in a world of shit should the other kidney fail. I have no objection to those who wish to take such a risk.
