I think the world is overpopulated to begin with -
I agree.
It's not just the animals suffering at the hands of humans, the earth itself is too.
The earth is dying! and it will... but once we are gone it will rejuvinate & flourish. & realistically I don't think any amount of people saying No to organ donors or refusing to have children is going to fix it now either , it's too far gone...
When your time's up your times up why is everyone so caught up on extending their life so much do you really want to get so old you can't wipe your own ass???
There are a lot of young, sick children who require organ donations who deserve a chance at life though.
I would feel differently also if I could guarantee my organ went to a child.

I don't think a child can take an adult organ though can they?
I'm not sure about all organs, but for organs like hearts a child can take an adults.

I guess I haven't really thought about it too much, it's a topic I like to avoid - my partner wants to donate his... I suppose it is a good thing to do, any of us would be grateful for an organ donor if we needed it and I'm sure we wouldn't refuse if the organ donor came from a meat eater would we...
Yes. Of course, it’s better for smaller patients to receive smaller organs, but an adult liver, for example, can be cut down to a single lobe to optimize its size for the pediatric recipient, or a living donor can give part of their liver. The liver regenerates, so in the healthy adult donor, it will grow back to its original volume within around six weeks. In fact, we cut down about 40% of the livers we receive for our patients. While we can’t reduce the size of an adult kidney for transplantation into a small child, we have developed specific techniques and management for these situations and the outcomes are excellent.

Me too. I don't like the thought of me dying, let alone the thought of me being cut up after I die. But hey... such is life (or in this case, death, haha).
