A normal reaction to being forced in my mind, if you give to a charity that is your choice, but when someone comes along & says you must that puts a completely different aspect on the issue, the same goes for your body.

I have never personally carried a donor card, but I've given blood on numerous occasions, that hasn't been an issue, but for me there is an underlying uncomfortable feeling about some "official" entity deciding what is to be done with my worldly remains, If I haven't decided by the time I've shuffled off this mortal coil, then the decision should lie with my family/dependants, not the government.
