| Message | Why not just assume consent? That way we get a large pool of organs. Most people don't care strongly enough either way, and those that do can still opt out. Everyone wins. |

| Message | For the same reason why we don't assume that consent is granted as a reason to take away personal property or to perform abortions. |

| Message | Uh... the person is dead, it's not like they're going to be using their organs... Whereas in the case of personal property or abortions, the person is very much still alive. We decide this on policy grounds of course. Of course you'll say something like "oh but what about property when a person dies". In that case of course, the property passes to the personal representative of the deceased - a dead person can't own property. |
