You may very well be under said obligation in the future.I am under no obligation to either donate my blood nor my organs,
I assume you'll refuse all blood that doesn't come from a family member, or that you pay a great deal of money for.. If there is an organisation that wants anything from my body, they will have to pay a great deal of money.
I doubt that would be the way it works. I was assuming that this would just reverse the paperwork as it currently exists - so whenever you'd currently agree to be a donor is when this bill would let you refuse to be one. That would be when renewing your license, or similar times, right? (I don't actually know how it works at present)I don't like the part of the bill that requires the patient to sign a refusal to donate because it sounds like they have to make it on their deathbed which in many cases the patient isn't able to do.

^ This, but replace "living" with "lived"From NY, living in NY, and I see no problem with this. When I am gone, I am gone, and why would I give a shit who does what with my body. Let em have it for harvest, for all I care.
I think so too. That is why I told my wife I want to be cremated and spread my ashes. Why waste good space?Frasnkly, too much space is wasted on the dead as it is. We need to get rid of the archaic notions that we use now.
It'll be in my will to have my remains cremated, instead of a funeral.Frasnkly, too much space is wasted on the dead as it is. We need to get rid of the archaic notions that we use now.
make sure she is dead too. Getting burn alive is not fun.When I die, I'm going to have my wife cremated with me...

That is a whole different ball of wax. Scary thought tho.I wonder if it ever happens that EMT people find a person who's a donor according to the info in their wallet, know three or four people in the hospital could live if this person dies, and let it happen.
True, but then what about there is like 10% chance of me dying but my organs have like 90% chance of saving 3 lives. Of course it was me, I would say let me die, but then again EMT might not ask in case I might say no and let me die anyways to save the 3.... the whole greater good thing.Anyone that would care enough about the sanctity of life to try to save 3 or 4 lives would never just let another one die to save them.
Being related to the dying people may be an exception.

What you are suggesting isn't human error, its deliberately violating someones wishes. Or at minimum deliberately being ignorant of their wishes, its not an error but a choice.*snip*
Yea I know an EMT (They are our medic for our convention they volunteer their time and I know they wouldn't do it) . I know what I'm saying is ridiculous, BUT at the same time, while there is a whole slew of people out there, human do make errors.
It is like Police officer that protect and serve the public, but there are small chance of a bad/rogue cop.
There are doctors who taken the oath and yet willing to work underground and do illegal operations.
No matter the profession out there or how noble, there is a small chance a couple of their numbers turn the "dark side" if you will.
