You do, cause it's you're body.

If you're dead, it may say you're an organ donor on your license or something. However, if you gave no prior consent, either your parents (if single) or your spouse give the final authority.

Many states have made a person's organ donation intentions IRREVOCABLE. That means a loved one cannot refuse to allow it to happen. So if you put donation on a Living Will or your driver's license, the State will have the only right -- and that is to follow those wishes. If a person has made no declaration of wishes, the decision is with the immediate next of kin. If one person is designated to make medical decisions, that person can override other family members. It used to be that the spouse and children needed to agree, but organ donation is in such high demand that this need for agreement may not be required anymore.
