That's not at all what it is though. The reason would be whatever catastrophe that made you a donor in the first place. This isn't a discussion about 'if.' it's a discussion about 'when.' To each his or her own though.I don't want the little organ donor thing on my license to be the reason I die.
It is about ifs, though. Even the article mentions that sometimes people come out of comas and you can't really predict when that'll happen. If I would have come out of the coma and they didn't bother to keep me alive because they wanted my liver I most definitely died because of being an organ donor. Honestly, if something like this were passed in the US I'd probably go turn in my license and opt out. I doubt I'd be the only one.
