What ever happened to self-ownership? Do I not own my own body? Isn't that a fundamental part of freedom?
Look, I'm a big fan of organ donation. I've got the little sticker on my license saying I'm an organ donor and I've told my family and friends that should anything happen to me that they should make sure any part of my body that could help anyone else should be taken and used. But that's my choice.
It's absurd to say that the government has a right to my body at any time, living or dead. You'd think the authoritarians would give you a break after you die, but I guess not.
