I may become unpopular here.

I think organ donation and the donors who choose to are extremely generous people. In fact - I'm not sure it is possible to be any more generous.

When we got married many years ago I asked my wife to stop being an organ donor. I am also no a donor.

Some of this is a little about my spiritual feelings, my feeling of respect for the dead but there is also a part of me that simply cannot let go of the decision I may be putting into a Doctor I do not knows hands if for some reason my wife was not around (or vice-versa).

I can't do it. Now, in the case where I am there and I know my wife's wishes are to donate I can and would make that call.

My own wishes are to not to however. I also do not want an autopsy done unless there is some overwhelming reason to.

In death I wish my body to be left in peace.
