My last post being done with, I think Frank is right, it's not a big deal to sign your donor card, and I really don't get the point of not signing it because you think that the it might end up in someone who has abused themselves.
I see a few problems with this

1) You are eliminating the possibility that your organs could do some good based on the improper assumption that it is likely your organs will go to someone who has harmed themselves. Basically I see this as being the exact opposite of what someone with a decently develped conscience would say, that being "Despite the possibility of my organs going to someone who I think doens't deserve them, the possibility that my organs can help save the life of an innocent person is reason enought to disregard my unwillingness to help the person who has done it to themsleves"

2) Denying someone the use of an organ that you no longer have a use for, you know, cause you're dead, simply because you think they are unworthy of it because they caused their own problem is a fantastic example of 2 wrongs not making a right. Seriously that is like throwing out a throwing away a sandwich that you don't want, and can't eat instead of giving it to the homless guy in front of you because you think he made himself poor.
