Doctors Should Make Every Effort To Save A Person Before Removing Their Organs.
I just read an article about some doctors who are trying to redefine death so they can remove organs earlier. It seems to me that if a person has ANY hope of being resuscitated the doctors should be focused on that, not waiting until they finally die so their organs are available for transplants. Here's the link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/03/AR2008100301974.html

I would give them every indication that I didn't want them to take my organs out yet...;-) )

Wow that seems sinister, that deprives me of trust among any doctor I see.

 that's why its such a bad idea. not only do people die unnecessarily, but people who aren't directly affected still lose trust in people that need to be trusted to do their jobs.

Yes.

It is MY body. MY organs, and you cannot have them. So there.
I disagree with organ transplantation on the grounds that Human Beings have Dignity, and are not like a bunch of used-car-parts for the convenience of someone else.

Live till you die. We all gotta go sometime.
Just treat others with dignity and respect: Doctors should do so especially. The Hippocratic Oath, which doctors take is:

"TO DO NO HARM".

They should live up to their promise at all costs.
Your life is a Sacred Value!
And as such, should be treated with Absolute Dignity and Respect.

The human body is a Sacred temple; created in God's image and likeness, as the Book Of Genesis clearly states for us.
And that is my argument against Organ Transplantation as a concept and actuality.

 If you had failing kidnies then I bet you would change your mind, even if you disagree now you can't possibly predict what you would do for the continuation of your life.

Who's going to want to be an organ donor if it might cost them their life?

I trust doctors to make every reasonable effort. And if my organs can be useful afterwords then by all means have at them. I think a doctors priority is almost always going to be the patient in front of them, and if they can do something they will. But if not why wait and waste live saving resources.

 this debate wasn't about whether or not you trust doctors, that was just a side-issue brought up.

the against column means you don't think doctors should make every effort possible to save someone before cutting their organs out.
