Not sure if its here or politics that is the best home, but I was thinking - why don't we have tax breaks for being an organ donor?

 

Some countries have an "opt-out" policy, but I am mixed on that solution to the need for more donors. I am dead set against any "free market" solutions but I am curious what other people think.

well seeing as you don't donate until your dead, there is always the chance that you change your mind for some reason or your organs become useless for donation(eg. disease, physical damge, too much decomposition before harvesting). The politician's don't want to gamble that. and anyway if there were tax breaks everybody would sign up and the government would lose money, which the politicians don't want.
