I'm a donor here in Australia. I also give blood on a regular basis (50+ donations) and I've put my name down on the list for bone marrow donors as well.
I made my wishes know to the ones I love that I would want my organs donated if it was viable. May people don't, resulting in people missing out on a chance at a normal life.
I'm not going to need them, so I have no problem in them being used by someone else.
The way donations are done here in Australia is different to America. I believe there is no cost to the family for donating organs.
