I'm one of those people who have always marked "Organ Donor" on my driver's license. I can think of no nobler legacy than enabling a fellow human to continue to live, or have a better life,. It costs nothing (we're all going to die sometime) and is perhaps the grandest of gestures.
For the first time, tho, I feel ambivalent about this due to one compelling reason: my donated organ could end up in someone like Dick Cheney. If I thought my death enabled the Dark Lord to continue his avaricious ways, I'd have my body cremated and my ashes mixed with salt.
