Holo: What if the person recieving the organs was YOU? When you do something you set an example that others follow.

I have been asked this every time I say I won't donate my organs, and after much thought I would not accept organs. Most wouldn't understand that, but If I won't give my organs I shouldn't take them either. If I was in an accident and they replaced something while unconscious or comatose I can't be morally at fault as I couldn't object.


The core of it is I don't want my body parts being used by other ppl after my death. I think my body belongs to me and if I don't want to share it with others I have no obligation to do so. I may be able to do good...but I hate the thought of my death helping someone I would despise much more than I like the positive. No matter how much I hear arguments against my decision it's something I feel very deeply against doing. I just can't give myself to it.
