#6  You do not own your body. The Government does and may, from time to time, graciously allow you to inhabit it until it is deemed Socially Useful to evict you.

Ouch! That was certainly efficient communication, lotp.

#3  This plan is chilling in its disregard for the free will of the individual WRT their own body. The intent may be humanitarian but the means are far too coercive.

#2  The simple solution is a pill that can be taken by those who do not want their organs taken away against their will. Otherwise harmless, it would make the organs useless for transplant.

Imagine the hysterical anger in which politicians and doctors would rage against such a pill and try to outlaw it, because it thwarts the right of the state to steal human organs.

#1  Why wait on the dead with deteriorating organs? How about all those healthy criminals who in any other time would have been executed? Nice, live, healthy organs. The ultimate payback to society for hideous transgression. /sarcasm off
