No karma points if you don't make the choice yourself. ;) Which, really, is why opt-in has to be the way. No karma points if you don’t make the choice yourself. ;)

Your directives in your will supercede the desires of your relatives I think. besides, there are special considerations with human bodies, even though they are just meat. You can't dispose of it the way you would a dog, you can't sell a kidney when your alive, etc... Since your body is part of your estate, ((Genius)) we have a new estate tax! Your body must donate at least one organ to research or transplanting. I believe your body becomes part of your estate. Your directives in your will supercede the desires of your relatives I think.

My point was, when do one's rights expire: when the person expires, or at the end of time? That is the dilemma. As a libertarian, I'm all about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but once I'm an ex-person (thanks, Python), do my rights continue, or does someone else's rights to life and the pursuit of happiness carry more weight, since I have neither?
