We do not need our bodies once we leave this world regardless of what you think happens after we die. We should be focused on curing diseases and extending the life of living humans. Science would go so far if we used human bodies after death instead of requiring people to give consent to something they don’t need.
This is a proper unpopular opinion because, as someone who received an organ transplant from a deceased donor, I disagree with it.
I am a huge advocate for organ donation for obvious reasons but I don’t think it should come at the cost of bodily autonomy.
Well it’s not exactly autonomy if you’re dead. It’s not you anymore, or even your body, it’s just an empty body. And it’s not like you can use it. In my mind it’s equivalent to “Nobody gets my car when I die. I want it to be buried”
Bodily autonomy is the concept that individuals have the right to make their own decisions about their bodies and reproductive health, without coercion or external interference. This includes the freedom to choose whether to have an abortion, use contraception, or consent to medical procedures. It is considered a fundamental human right and is closely linked to other rights like privacy, equality, and bodily integrity.
You make the decision when you’re still alive.
