Unless you're a tinfoil hat wearing fuckhead
it's perfectly obvious that this provides a benefit with no downside. I daresay people who take Captain Placids view that if someone asks you to do something you will refuse out sheer cuntymindedness will get their knickers in a twist, but the vast majority of people will see this for what it is, an attempt to allow very sick people a chance of living.

the downside is going to be when someone hasn't given consent and the family of the deceased is devastated when only a shell of a human is returned to them

I have a donor card in my wallet, but I very rearly carry my wallet with me.
Time is quite important for harvesting your organs, they are welcome to mine after death, I would hate to think that process was hindered by this and that someone would be deprived of what I could give after death

Also, I'm pretty sure the family can still remove consent after death if they are such selfish cunts.

But what's left isn't the person.
The person is gone. What's left behind just *looks like the person.

Unless they died of something horrific, in which case it quite often doesn't.
