There is a movie by the name Ship of Theseus which explores the idea in the context of organ donation and transplantation.
I loved the movie. There is one actor by the name of Neeraj Kabi who lost a lot of weight for his role as a monk.
Here is the trailer: https://youtu.be/tzw1ezTTVEY?si=NfsG9sY1R1JjmbVV
I am an Indian citizen I am not American. Indians (and Hindus specifically) see death as merely one transition.
I find it weird that we are denying poor people an excellent opportunity to pull their family out of poverty instantly even after an unfortunate event. Here we are using nature's forces to force the "rich leeches" (as one person wrote above) to part with their wealth and help the poor family.
At the moment rich Americans fly to India and China where gangs (and government) illegally harvest organs for the benefit of world rich. If USA regulates the organ trade within USA we can avoid all that misery for poor Indians.
I suggest you want the Indian movie Ship of Theseus which dwelves on this topic.
There's a wonderful Indian film with the same name which kind of touches on the subject - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus_(film)
I would recommend the movie to the fans of cinema/indie movies.
