Yes they do:

On the argument that withholding an organ from a CCL priest/tv evangelists/child rapist would not have any effect on religion that's not necessarily a reason not to take that attitude. If you extend that there's no reason to recycle the plastic bottle in your hand because one plastic bottle in not going to make much difference anyway.
No they don't:

As to what kind of society not donating organs would make it can't be argued it would make things worse or better.
Should we be neutral to others?
Yes we should:

I don't see anything to love or hate in humans.
No, it's all emotional response:

Are we involved after we are dead?
Yes, we control our bodies:

Whatever you do with your organs they're yours to a greater extent than any other thing you own.
No, we aren't even there:
Quote:
By the time your organs are given to someone else and it won't make a blind bit of difference ... because you'll be dead.
(not to mention the fact that legally your dead body is not your property.)

Should we base our actions on what other people in the world might do after we are dead?:
No, because

You can't predict exactly what will happen one way or the other.
Yes, because
Quote:
What if you donated your organs as an atheist and the devoutly religious recipient, on recovery, discovering this, commits suicide faced with the idea of having a heretics spare parts?
Yes, what if? I mean, like, what if, you know, after you are dead? Oh, that's right:

What if we caught a necrophilic penguin trying to fuck your dead body in the refrigerator? This also is an important question.
