The British Transplantation Society (BTS) announced yesterday that an "accumulating body of evidence suggests that the organs of executed prisoners are being removed for transplantation without the prior consent of either the prisoner or their family."

Quite a line.

I'm not sure people should be asked to donate organs. I think its rather selfish if anyone refuses. Its not as if they need them when they're dead. I don't agree however that it should be done purely for profit.

its also selfish to refuse to donate organs while your alive. some people have sentimental attachment to their body parts.

I wouldn't go as far as yourself. People have the right to refuse whilst they're still alive.

While I'd probably do it, there is are very real risks in giving up an organ or part of an organ. I wouldn't have hard feelings against someone unable to stomach those risks.
