We do not need our bodies once we leave this world regardless of what you think happens after we die. We should be focused on curing diseases and extending the life of living humans. Science would go so far if we used human bodies after death instead of requiring people to give consent to something they don’t need.
Except that in most of the world its opt out yet there isn’t a rise in that. There is zero chance of people killing someone when they need their organ
Is it? You should bring a proof, because this claim is highly dubious.

The cited article shows that there is no difference in the death rate of donors between opt-in an opt-out countries.
But it does not support the claim that most countries are opt-out. They only look at OECD countries, where opt-in is in the majority (18 opt-in vs 17 opt-out).
Hm. Interesting, actually. Thanks for the info. It is quite unexpected data for me.

Not to yuck your yum, but most of the rest of the world doesn’t have school shootings, or a health insurance system like we do either. I’d not put harvesting to far past us.
If someone is going to harvest organs they will not care about the legality lol.
No, not till there’s a way to monetize it. There’s no black market for organs, and I doubt there could be one, but do you really think insurance companies and the like wouldn’t start looking for was to increase kidney availability?
