I have no objection to organ donation at all.

I think the idea that someone might see with my eyes after my death to be a beautiful one and I’ve been a lifelong card carrying organ donor.

I object to presumed consent.

A gift is not a gift if it’s not freely given.

Sounds a bit like you weren't an organ donor because it's the right thing but because it makes you feel good. And now that good feeling is taken away from you because everyone is an organ donor by default and you're not doing anything special anymore.

Does it? I think you’re twisting my words a bit there.

My aim was simply to answer the parent’s claim that I might have an issue with organ transplant and that’s not the case.
