Personally I absolutely agree with what was stated in
the Bill. First, deceased body normally would be
burned to ashed in Hong Kong. That means everything
inside the body will be totally destroy. It's
meaningless to keep sth that will finally be destory.
Why not to donate them so that the will of the
deceased body will still "stay" in the living world? A
person's life is self-owned and doesn't belongs to
anybody else. So I think views of the donor's
relatives are NOT important unless there's proof that
the donor has confessed to his or her relatives that
he or she wouldn't like to be donor after death.

The number of patients who need organs transplant is
increasing sharply. But the sources of organs are
still very scarce. It would be nice if the Bill can be
legalized.
