This is a difficult issue I think.I personally think the idea of an "opt out" system is unacceptable, it has to be "opt in" or else your loosing control of your own body and handing it over to the state- organ donation must always be on the donor's hands.
Yet, I don't like the idea of having to give up a kidney or when I'm dead having my heart taking away...but there is no rational reason for it...and as a Christian I think its a bit selfish not to be ready to give up my organs...I don't know though, if I could give my kidney to save a life them I really should.
but as a Christian, don't you believe your god has given each person the organs he intended them to have? If your god wanted that person's life saved, their organs would not be failing. Every single thing that lives, dies. If a god does indeed exist, why mess with it's handywork and let every living thing die a natural death when it's time comes.
