I am absolutely a donor. And I consider it a post-mortem blessing to my family that I have a living will explicitly requiring my body to be donated to the NIH. No casket, no burial plot or mausoleum, I'm going cheap. I personally would hope that by the time I die we can have a whole industry using our unusable parts for energy production.
But sometimes I wonder when some people say things like "dying with the organs god gave me," if they're using an easy scapegoat for just not having a protracted battle with a terrible illness, and letting go before life gets unbearable, and others are making decisions for you because you can't. Not to mention the cost of those protracted battles.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
