Our neighbor buried two children due to a genetic defect in their hearts. They donated the organs and for all of the high minded lecturing, there is a reality in this situation which is never counseled, and that is these children have been dead over ten years, and periodically there are posts in the newspaper from these parents in not having dealt with their children being dead, as they never have had closure as "their children live on in others".
Organ donation is a personal thing and castigating others, because they have a legitimate objection to hospitals making money off of organs and families are stuck with hospital bills, or the reality that in order to obtain organs the donor operations sell the propaganda that the person is not dead but lives on, is an issue which needs to be addressed as watching people never having closure over the death of a loved one is an abuse.
Life is an unfair situation. My sister was killed in a car crash because she had a safety belt on which held her in place, so a fence corner post took the top of her head off. This year, day after Thanksgiving my mother died in my arms of a heart attack unexpectedly. I did CPR on my dad when he expired. I am not an organ donor, but if my spouse or children would have need, they would have it.
Organ donating is not the perfect world that advocates claim in David Rockefeller had six heart transplants and the reality is skin donations are used in genital enhancement. Once you sign that permission, the system can market you to the highest bidder and your parts will end up in places you were never told. Instead of making this a holier than thou debate, should not the current broken system be fixed where families will have a right to state how the organs are utilized, not sold and the necessity of ending the lie that "the dead live on in others", so families can have emotional closure.
