You haven't or won't immunize your children? You don't/won't do standard screening for yourself or them?

You're awfully good at selective reading. I suggest to reread every post I made in this thread, and you'll have your answer.

I read them and I think you're full of it. You said you're against modern medicine, but will use it anyway. Yet you pick a specific battle with organ donation claiming at first that you believe it halts evolution, and then change your argument to state that it causes overpopulation.

It sounds like you really don't have any legitimate reason and just want to be "against the system. "

I pick a specific battle with organ donation because I make a direct optional decision to participate or not. As far as the rest goes, it's because I'm hypocrite. The correct answer is to always forgo medical treatment, but the drive for self preservation overrides logic, and doing what's best for everyone.

I recognize my hypocrisy, do you recognize your illogical sentimentality?

As long as you admit the hypocrisy, I have no problem with your argument. I'm not sure I see this "illogical sentimentality" to which you're referring.

Yes, but only when I die. I don't really care what they do with my body once I'm dead. If it can be used to let someone else live longer than go for it.

Nope. Not that I'll need them once I'm dead, but my parts aren't usable...nor can I donate blood.

If you are donor watch out. If the hospital finds out that you are a donor and thinks someone will make better use of your organs than you currently are, they won't hesitate to let you die when they could save you.

Like an inmate for example?

Not yet, but that's solely from laziness. I imagine I'll check that box the next time the form comes around.
