Being an organ donor is a sign of being a good person. While you get no say to organ recipient, it is bit consoling. I followed the wishes of a relative and "pulled the plug". No major organs could be donated but skin/connective tissue and one other part which eludes my brain at this time could be. The person on the phone apologized a few times re: the questions asked (some were of a really personal nature of the deceased). But I could truthfully answer, I did, and I hope at least one person benefited.
