Living in any modern society means taking on some duties and obligations for the benefit of the society. This will bother you for five minutes in France before clicking 'submit' and getting on with your (hopefully long lasting) life. You would wish dealing with taxes was as easy that.

Besides, what are you going to do with your body? It'll be gone sooner or later.

The difference being, there's not much use for your heart once you're dead.

Not only that, but it's useless even for your family, since they can't simply sell it or profit in any way as they would with most things (unless you're also advocating for the family right to sell your organs).
