ORIGINAL: Epytropos

I've made it extremely clear to everyone in my life that if they stand between my corpse and the organ donation people I will rise from the grave to rob them of all they hold dear. The fact that I can say 'I want x done with my body' and someone else can then come in and change that after I'm dead is a concept I cannot wrap my mind around. It's a massive hole in the logic of our legal framework that ought to be filled immediately.

The law is changing in some places. When I renewed my DL I was informed that choosing donation was no longer revocable by my next of kin.

I'm going to be the dissenting voice: my organs are going nowhere.

A direct result of legal and medical practices regarding organ donation up here.

Of course, the current proposed solution is to make organ donation mandatory instead ...

Health,
al-Aswad.
