I cannot understand why the hell anyone wouldn’t be willing to donate their organs. That’s the most selfish crap I’ve ever heard :

A group wants Congress to test whether cash incentives would encourage more families to donate the organs of relatives following their deaths.

The Pittsburgh-based group wants a 1984 law prohibiting financial incentives for organ donations to be rewritten to allow a project that would award $5,000 to families who authorize a deceased relative’s organs to be used for transplantation. The coalition sent a letter Wednesday to 40 senators and members of Congress.
. . .
The idea for cash incentives comes at a time when leaders in the field of organ procurement are pushing for changes to reverse a trend that has seen donations remain flat in recent years.

The United Network for Organ Sharing says more than 6,000 people died last year waiting for organs. More than 80,000 people are currently awaiting transplants.

In California, they give you a little sticker to put on your drivers license to indicate you’d like to be an organ donor. Mine lasted for about a week. Now if I die, instead of using my organs to save someone’s life, they’ll probably flush them down the toilet or something.

What does someone have to gain by not donating their organs? Are people really stupid enough to believe that they’ll someday find a cure for whatever took their life and start reanimating people? Or that doctors will start harvesting organs before knowing for sure whether someone is really dead? Or that giving their organs will somehow piss off Jesus/Muhammad/Xenu?

Forget financial incentives, they should just change the law so that everyone’s organs are automatically donated. If someone wants to be a dick about it, they can always put a little sticker on their license.
