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

of course they will, taking the organs and not telling anyone is fucking creepy

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.
