Actually, there's a case to be made for "screw your sentimental attachment to your meat parts -- we can save lives".

Not a good case. Not in any place with even a remote concern for liberty or natural rights. Unless, of course, that place also disallows inheritance; in that case, it could be argued that you don't own your body after you die.
