Nice try fed, won't get my organs that easily

I am, but I probably shouldn't be. My organs are...not in the best shape.

Yes, because I'd want others to be if I needed it.

Yes. And I volunteer plasma every 2 weeks. Up to 25 donations in a weeks time.

Organ donation is the last honorable / good thing you can do for the world after you've left. You'll be forgotten soon after dying, so might as well make it worth something

Yes, because I won't need my organs when I'm dead.

Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground

In all seriousness I'd rather they cut me up and pass me all around.

I am not. HOWEVER, it is simply because my spouse will be the one to make the decision. Not that I don't trust doctors, but it's a decision my spouse and I talked about.

Yes however, I'm torn between either donating my organs or donating my body to science.

My thinking is I could maybe help save a couple of lives if my organs are in a decent enough state, although with my life style they probably wont be, or maybe my body could be used as a cadaver to train new doctors possibly saving a lot more lives.

Even if its not used for training doctors my thinking is that even a small amount learnt from the use of my body has got to help somewhere.

Yes, but I've since been diagnosed with leukemia.... Hopefully that doesn't mean my spare parts are trash but I suspect that's the case.

Yes. My state makes it really easy, just check a box when renewing your ID or driver's license. I can only hope if I lost my life I could give a new lease on life to someone else.

Not in the US but yes.

Yes, in the case of an untimely death i could really help people.

I remember a guy went around to all the different country subs and asked what they thought about an opt-out organ donor policy instead of an opt-in donor. The results were interesting (which you can probably guess).

Yes. In fact, I just registered for this a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I'm registered, just in case the agency in charge manages to not fuck up that day.

Yeah dude, if I have anything they can use. It's not like I'll be using them anymore, and I have a couple of friends who've gotten donor organs, so I've seen firsthand how it impacts people. I tried to be a kidney donor for another friend but it turns out I don't have enough extra function that they thought I could give one away. I'm fine, my kidneys are just not going above and beyond, I guess.

no, I will when I'm 18 tho

like others have said, I'm dead, idgaf

Yes. I can't think of a better use for them than saving a life (or hopefully lives) at the time when not only they're not going to be useful to me, but there will actually be no me to even be able to make use of them.

And I live a healthy life, so hopefully some of them might be useful whether I die of old age or any other cause (except falling into a meat grinder of course, then all this gym going and veg eating will be in vein).

Also, fingers crossed they'll find a dope body who's my HLA match and will need a brain transplant 🤞
