I dont' give a crap what happens to my body after I die, except that out of consideration for the earth I'd prefer to rot in the ground than pollute the air by being cremated. Personally I'll donate whatever is needed to whomever needs it. (But I'm not donating anything while I'm alive. What if you donate a healthy kidney, but then your remaining kidney fails?)
Oddly though I feel distinctly queasy at the thought of being a recipient of a donated organ.
I suspect that is the opposite of the normal reaction.
Incidentally, @The Seldom Killer, what if you donated an organ, saving the life of a person that then went on to become a terrible and vicious tyrant, who performed breathtaking acts of genocide and general evil? Would that make organ donation wrong?
