I definitely object to implied consent on organ donorship!!
My religious beliefs restrict donation to those cases where someone
will directly benefit; preferably, a life will be saved.
Donation for research purposes is generally prohibited, unless, again,
someone will be directly helped.  In addition, any organs removed but
not used -must- be buried, preferably with my body.

End of the matter: donation of my body parts -must- be controlled by
someone I trust in the matter.  No one has the right to fiddle
arbitrarily with my physical body, just because my soul is no longer
in it!!

BTW, New York has had organ donor info on its licenses for several
years.  Look on the back.
