I am guessing here. Those who do not explicitly object could have their body parts taken if they died for instance in a car accident, to save others?

In Canada? Or anywhere?

Actually I think they have discussed the possibility here. You would have to specifically opt out is the way they were thinking.

That's how it is in the USA. You have to specifically opt-in by signing the back of your driver's license.

An interesting question, and one that was addressed by Larry Niven in his short story "The Jigsaw Man." (I understand the Chinese have already started harvesting the organs of condemned criminals. Makes you wonder just what might end up being a crime if the trend continues...oh, hell, just read the story!) He also successfully predicted "organ leggers," people who bootleg organ 'donations.'

Any of the Gil Hamilton ARM stories, novellas, etc, deal with a world where transplants are a major means of life extension.

IT DEPENDS IF UR BEING FORCED ALIVE NO IF U R DIED AND IT CAN SAVE LIVES THAN YEA

Organ donation is a great thing to do. Being forced is wrong.
