Like the Monty Python: 'Meaning of Life' sketch... does a donor card encourage a death sentence, so they can have all that useful stuff instead of using up bed space?

The way things are going, it is a worrying thought, we are becoming very Big Brother and if someone at the top needed saving a quick motoring accident could be helpful in the organs department. We are making laws now that would have caused riots in the 1960s! A quick nod to the doctor, and a back hander for nice kidney? !!

Not at all. Just when you do pop your clogs, any organs which remain healthy will be used if you hold it.
Don't rely on Monty Python to tell you facts etc. You might decide that you didn't want to do this. You didn't want to spend your life on this site. You wanted to be... a lumberjack!

I shudder to think - you may be tempting fate, there again if you or a loved family member needed an organ in a life or death situation you would hope that everyone had it in them to carry one at all times.

No. That suggests they value one life over the other which doctors cannot. It is simply a way of helping others.
