I'm sure that if your father, mother, brother, sister, etc. needed a transplant, you'd feel differently about being an upstanding, tax-paying citizen who's money had just gone towards giving TWO SETS of organs to an illegal immigrant.
God forbid that any of your relatives ever needs a transplant. You're right, there are not enough to go around, people absolutely should sign donor cards. However, for the organs that are available, they really need to go to the citizens or legal aliens who need, and deserve, them.
