For instance, in your situation. To me it is your body, if you decide to donate organs, it is solely your choice. Your husband has no say. However, from a religious standpoint, I know that your husbands body now belongs to you, and yours to him.

Really has nothing to do with religion, more out of consideration of his suffering, since at the time I will be dead
. I am not particularly religious (though I am spiritual). I think if you fall into a "default" category and made a choice simply by not making a choice (i.e. if you do not check that box - like in my case - it does not necessarily mean you DO NOT want your organs donated), then your relative should have a say.
If the law is changed and you have to CHOOSE to NOT donate your organs (i.e. it is implied that otherwise you DO want them donated), then your relative should have a say. Besides, if people have to opt-out, I'm sure they'll have more than enough organs that they can let a couple of hysterical relatives keep their dead loved ones whole.
Otherwise, yes I do believe we agree. WOW, that's a small miracle
