I can you the original reason I was an organ donor when I got my permit when I was 15/16.
I wanted a heart on my learners permit.
Back before it was black and white.
Now, I still am an organ donor because...if something were to happen...at least something good can come out of it...maybe save someone else's life.
Religion really didn't affect this decision. Good morals did, I suppose.

It is because of what I believe that I am an organ donor. I know that the flesh is a temporary and the spirit is eternal. Therefore it doesn't overly matter what happens to this flesh, especially after the soul has left it. By giving my organs to someone else after I have finished with them it means that they have a chance at coming to know the saviour, a chance which they might not of had before. This is why I am an organ donor.

Not at all. There are no dictates either way in mainstream Christianity. I am not an organ donor for perfectly legitimate reasons.

I am perfectly willing to give whoever needs whatever. I give plasma now. I HAD given blood for years because I AM the rarest blood type, and plasma doesn't HAVE a type, so ANYONE could give it, but they say they need it MUCH more than blood.
I can go in for that more often than for blood, too, but it IS kind of annoying to give. Most people can get hooked up with both arms, one for giving and one for getting blood back (they only want the plasma), but I've only got one arm that works. Even their RN couldn't find any veins in the other, so I do it with one arm, so it takes twice as long. At least they let me watch a movie while I'm lying there. It often takes me a whole movie just to do 1 pint.

I think that it should be opt. out,
everyone should (baring religious objection) be an organ donor!
