Parents are not legally obligated to donate their organs to their children even if it would result in saving their child's life. The reasoning behind this is that people, including parents, have bodily autonomy.

The donor concept is a perfectly valid parallel. I can understand that someone wouldn't like it if it challenges their conclusions, but that's sort of the point. No one, not even the government, has more autonomy over ones body than oneself.
