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.

    If my body is valuable my family should get paid for it. The healthcare industry certainly is when they use the organs.

      Probably why there’s such a push for people to become donors. Don’t consider the needs of the sick, but of the shareholders.

        Yeah. I’d happily give it for free if the whole system was structured that way but if there’s profit being made from me I want my family to get a cut.

          Tell them to have a yard sale when you go. Cut out the middle man and make a few bucks on some home-grown organ meats.
