PBA: Yeah, but what if their way of life comes at the cost of my life? That’s what I strongly disagree with. It’s okay for you to say that you’ll follow your Poskim and Hashem will take care of you. But about when you following your Poskim is taking away from someone else?

Ok Sam, since you won’t say it, I’ll say it. I assume you did think of this.

My poskim (rov poskim) take that into account also, that I am hurting you by withholding my organs from you. And they still said it is assur. I am not aware that they say it is assur only because it goes to non jews–observe that they say it is assur even in Israel!

I listen to the poskim unless they are in obvious error, like yeravam ben nevat telling us to worship idols. I don’t think you would say this is that case.
