Organ donation - Another harm of religion

Several weeks ago I was chatting with a few people when the subject of organ donation came up. One person in the group stated he chooses not to be a donor due to theological reasons. Though I initially thought he was speaking in jest, his followup explanation, “What if you need your organs after you die?”, was spoken in sincerity. Needless to say, I was floored to hear an otherwise intelligent-seeming individual make such a statement.

Consequentially, another sick person may die if this gentleman dies prematurely, as his organs will be unavailable.
