I'm still an organ donor, and will continue to be

but he's got a good point when it comes to potentially signing your life away....

What You Lose When You Sign That Donor Card: Giving away your organs sounds noble, but have doctors blurred the line between life and death?

I think he's oversimplified the process, as I don't think signing that driver's licence gives doctor's a slam dunk...you still have to go through the next-of-kin, from my understanding, and they could demand the measures he suggests. The problem is most people wouldn't know to. But it's definitely food for thought.
