If there are reasons for the yuck reaction,
then let's hear them. The yuck reaction would then not be where the action is after all.
As for consent about the post-mortal use of a body: well, why not? Actually, I don't think that would matter so much, because - frankly - you're dead and it's a bit late. It's for similar reasons that I don't think you should have to give consent for your organs to be taken for transplantation: you're not using them any more, so it's nothing to do with you.

They've already been aired, I don't need to go back through them.
Isn't a 'yuck' reaction to some things a healthy reaction?

"Healthy" by what standard?
Healthy doesn't mean morally justified.

I know
But I meant 'healthy' as in, if you eat bad meat, you'll get ill. You get a 'yuck' reaction there. If you smell that your milk's off, you don't drink it.

But it wouldn't be *wrong* to do so.
It'd just be daft. f you really wanted to, though... well, why not?

yeah
organ harvesting is how it should be. Opt out by all means, but it should be the norm.
