Officials running a federal program that is considering redefining death are going to be seeking further public comment after members of the Christian Medical Association raised alarms about several problems, including what they believe would be an open door to pressure families to donate organs before their loved one has died.
The proposal could move the federal government closer into alignment with what has been proposed by longtime Barack Obama adviser Cass Sunstein.
Obama's "regulatory czar" was revealed in 2009 to have pushed strongly for the removal of organs from those who did not give their consent to becoming an organ donor.
In his book, "Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness," Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler presented the possibility of the "routine removal" of organs because "the state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone's permission."

Under the 1987 UAGA, medical examiners or coroners may release organs for transplantation only when they have CUSTODY of a body and the deceased has no next-of-kin. There must be a reasonable search for NEXT OF KIN by competent authorities. Officials may not remove organs or tissue for transplanting unless a specific state law grants this authority

While there is a positive value to organ donation and I have no moral objection to it, but I have personally always declined for two reasons: One, mine are really pretty used up; Two, I would prefer the ER/ICU not have any reason to get too hasty in parting me out.
