I have written on the back of my driver’s license, “Not an organ donor,” just in case the lack of organ donation card isn’t enough.

I don’t like the idea of organ transplants. The way I see it is that when someone gets placed onto a transplant list, they are actively hoping that someone else, who is alive and healthy right now, will die. I have a HUGE moral problem with that.

If I am that sick, that only an organ transplantation can save my life, what right do I have to fervently hope that a healthy person should die? Maybe, if my health is that bad, it is time to accept that my time is coming to its end?

Exactly. Keeping life in the earthly body at the expense of others is evil. There is a natural beginning and a natural end to life in the mortal coil. Death is not a tragedy when naturally occurring; sad if premature for sure, but clinging to life in the body when it's time to continue the journey elsewhere is not a happy or peaceful way to live.
