I fail to see what difference it makes whether the organ is removed to
help someone else, or left to rot in the ground.  Either way, in order
to refashion a working body Hashem will have to recreate the organ
except for those few who will have died shortly before THM.

But then, I don't understand why people in Chazal's day thought that
cremation was a way to deny THM, and therefore why Chazal declared that
one who has himself cremated has no Chelek.   Surely people realised
that the same God Who can recreate a body from dusty bones can do so
just as easily from ashes.  Surely they didn't think that if someone
was ChV burned in a house fire he would not come back in THM, or that
R Chananya ben Tradion would not come back in THM.  So why were the
apikorsim having themselves burned, and why did Chazal react to it
with such horror?
