With the current shortage of organs, it makes sense to use them for people who have the potential to be productive members of society.
Yes, it's cold and uncompassionate, but it makes sense. That said, I would want to see the family of the donor have some say in who gets the organs.
When I die, they can take whatever they want and give it to whomever needs it. When they're done, what's left of 'me' will either be donated to research (I totally love the idea of rotting away at the 'body farm' or, I will be buried, without the coffin and crap, in a natural burial site. I will not clutter up some cemetery, damaging the environment and all that crap.
Interesting documentary the other day. Did you know they don't take "fat" dead bodies for research?
Me I want to buried and I want a Tombstone that'll have something memorable on it that people 100 years from now will want to take etchings of. So far the best suggestion has been "she's dead, Jim".
