No one should feel obligated to be an organ donor. And telling someone they must because they “aren’t using their body anymore” is fucked up. If a person has to be coerced, guilted or bullied into giving the “gift of life” they aren’t doing so freely. If they have to be manipulated into it then it’s not a gift. It’s theft. Nevermind the fact that corporations make big bank off the organ and tissue trade by piecemealing out donors and sellings the parts, but no one talks about THAT because lives are being saved.
(I’m not against organ donation. I just don’t like that we use manipulation tactics to procure body parts and that there isn’t transparency about who is profiting).
I agree. If you have opted out for whatever reason, you get harvested. In a similar vein, euthanasia and assisted suicide should be legal for those with terminal illness or over a certain age.
idk about over a certain age, but euthanasia for terminal illness is legal in more places than you probably think, and many of those places will take refugees from the barbaric countries/states.

When you donate an organ after death, your family gets nothing. But, the receiver can pay $80,000 -100,000+ just for the organ.

My controversial opinion is, everyone should benby default an organ donor, unless stated otherwise.
My controversial opinion is that you shouldn’t be able to opt out.

There’s nothing barbaric about blowing your own brains out to save a few bucks! This is America!

Not the default situation, worldwide.
