A member asked:
Why are some people against organ donation even if they die?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal resons: Sometimes the patient or family has personal religious or moral beliefs against removing body parts. Sometimes people are angery at the medical system. Other times people are just not well informed about the potential for donation and the benefits to society.
