I had a conversation with my mum the other night, which has led on to me posting this thread.
She thinks that it might be possible to feel pain after death. She doesn't know what happens to our bodies, but she doesn't believe it's the end of us. For this reason, she wants cremated instead of buried, as she wouldn't want to be slowly eaten by worms for years after dying. Lovely.
Because of the pain after death thing, she doesn't want to be an organ donor. I asked "would you be happy to accept an organ if you needed one tomorrow?" and she said yes.
It just got me thinking how unfair this system is. People like my mum can get organs, but aren't willing to donate their own.
AIBU to think that if you are willing to accept an organ, you should be a registered organ donor yourself?

AIBU?
To suggest people shouldn't be allowed donor organs unless they're registered organ donors themselves?
