| Message | They have a say and currently can revoke consent; what we shouldn't do is to waste organs that would definitely save lives just because we don't know the will of the dead. |
| Date | 14:22:16, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Technocracy Directive | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | It is the will of the soon to be dead that allows for such things to be allowed; think of the families who practice burial, would they not want a complete body to be put under allowing the family to have a sense of peace knowing that a loved one is complete and in a place they can get to? |
| Date | 15:02:25, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Nationalist Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | Burial sites take up land that could be used for public housing, or hospitals. Also, they could still practice burial if they wish, by simply stating that they wish to do so. Should the families wishes for the individuals body better given more importance than the individual? Surely not. Let us not reduce the number of donors, and possibly lead to shortages of organs leading to deaths. The more organs available, the more lives will be saved: should be abandon those who could be saved, in order to allow families to visit a corpse? That does not seem appropriate.

| Message | It is a human right for their body to be the sole property of the person in question, should they not have some say in what happens to their body once they die? |
| Date | 15:42:09, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | Of course it is and of course they do. They do have a say, and nobody is arguing it. What we are arguing is what do when they do not exercise their right to have a say: whether to save lives or to fill up burial places. |
| Date | 16:05:34, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Technocracy Directive | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | to some a connection to the past is needed which is why burials were present in the first place, who are we to deny them the ability to visit the dead and remember the past? |
| Date | 17:10:08, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | It is as easy as stating that you don't want to donate your organs. Nobody is being forbidden to do so. |
| Date | 18:02:02, October 13, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Technocracy Directive | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | But what if they cannot state their wishes? |
| Date | 01:40:20, October 14, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Organ donations |
| Message | What if they wanted to save lives and couldn't state their wish? Both cases can happen, we'd rather make the mistake that would not kill anybody else. |
