Scotland and Canada are (thinking of) changing to "opt out" for
organ donation.* Why?* Why not just make it mandatory?* You're
dead, you don't need those organs.* Why waste the doctor's time on
paperwork?* Why murder someone after your death who could have been
saved by your body parts? And no I don’t care if you have some
crazy religion.


At least here in the U.S., they attempt to make contact with the
relatives of the dying person, before transplanting organs solely
based on the individual's identification card, which expresses that he
or she is an organ donor.* My driver's license indicates that i would
donate organs, but I'm pretty sure they'd still ask my family about it
if they were able to contact them.


Here in the US many people want body autonomy for their DEAD body,
but want to
deny it to living women.


Don't organs have to be of a similar size, so same sex and same age?


No; there is a singer called Angelica Hale who received a kidney from
her mother at age 4.

And a liver can be cut up and a part implanted if it's cut in the right
way, taking into account the blood vessels and ducts.

It is the acquired memory from the organ that is the problem.....
