I think organ harvasting from death human bodies should not be optional, but mandatory, so CMV

After a person dies there is relatively short period during which certain organs may be harvasted from their body and transplanted in patients suffering from for example kidney failures. Most countries have an opt-in system whereby you must consent to it explicitly. Some have an opt-out system whereby you must explicity state you don't want your organs to be used. My point of view, that you are welcome to change, is that a person should never have the ability to refuse organ and tissue harvasting after their death. Not from themselves and not from their family. Every single body that is medically usefull should be automatically be available. Anytime, anywhere without questions.

First, there is no denying that the world is suffering from a shortage of donated organs. Nor is there denying that this shortage incures a real hardship and suffering on an untold number of patients who die or are disabled while yet another person gets buried or cremated with organs that would greatly enhance their life had they been available.

Secondly, as soon as a person dies, their fundamental rights end. The rights to physical integrity and religion specifically apply here. Rationally, it only makes sense to confer these to actual living humans. It's also what we do in practice. For a totally non-controversial example : when somebody dies, their right to vote stops abruptly and automatically. There just isn't a person anymore to take advantage of any would-be right. Not to vote, not to religion and not to physical integrity.

Finally, I understand my proposal might lead religiously extremely motivated people to forego medical help in the last hours of their life in fear of being used as an organ donor. Of course that's not a diserable outcome. That's why I think my proposal makes the most sense for a country like Belgium. It is as secular as you can get and already has an opt-out system. Just like with gay marriage, this issue could then form it's own propaganda by showing the world that the sky is not falling after its enactment and gradually break down the irational support against it.

Well if the wishes of the living are irrelevant after they are dead - should we legalise  necrophilia? Should we have a 100% tax on all you assets for the greater good? Selling your house could do more "good" in your formulation than letting your bereaved widow live in a house built for 2!
 
How we treat the dead is not just about the person who has died, but about the values we want as a society and the way in which we respect both the expressed preferences of the living and the rights of the living relatives of those who have died.
