On an ethical lifestyle and organ donation.

I’m an organ donor. I also am somewhere in between vegan and vegetarian. I see a contradiction in this.

This means that if I die, any of my usable organs will be harvested and transplanted into another human being, if possible. However, the odds of any of the recipients being vegan or vegetarian is very small.  Somewhere around 2% of the Western world’s population is vegan with up to a possible 10% being vegetarian.

Here comes my worry. Something in the region of 300 animals are killed over the life of a single meat-eater (according to this on American meat-eaters, but it may be much higher). So, almost all of my organs are going to extend the life of meat-eaters, which means that even if they live for one year, each of my organs is responsible for the death of multiple animals.

On that basis, both vegans and vegetarians should not be organ donors.

that person is saying that they don’t want to give their organs if they die because their organs will go to meat eaters and meat eaters are really mad for the environment so they’re saying “save the earth: kill yourself”
