This is why we have a democratic government to make difficult decisions, rather than allowing grieving families to do what feels best for them.
If my child were dying for want of a heart, the absolute last thing on my mind would be whether some family with a brain-dead child has a superstitious belief that organ donation is wrong. That wouldn't really work for me. I'd want the doctors to go in there and take the heart by force before it could be thrown into a grave to rot. The other family's rights be damned....MY KID IS DYING!
So it's a really good thing that we don't let the crazy-with-grief folks make this kind of call.
