Israel Puts Forth Innovative Organ Donation Law

Makes sense to me.

Israel is launching a potentially trailblazing experiment in organ donation: Sign a donor card, and you and your family move up in line for a transplant if one is needed.

The new law is the first of its kind in the world, and international medical authorities are eager to see if it boosts organ supply. But it has also raised resistance from within Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority.

I admit, however, that I’m a bit callous when it comes to my own inevitable death and the remains that will be left behind.  Cut me up, donate my organs, burn me, do medical experiments on me… whatever.  I’ll be dead and not too concerned about the flesh I will leave behind.
