Thread: ORGANS

  1. #1

    Default ORGANS

    Does it say that you're an organ donor on your license? WHY NOT!?

    I'm an organ donor. What am I gonna use my parts for when I die in a horrible flaming car accident?

    My dad isn't an organ donor. He's all "I don't want some weirdo using my lungs!" and it's like "well dad no one wants your lungs you big smoker..."

    GOGO!

    Mostly because I don't have a license but also because I'm not an organ donor.

    I'm considering it though, I don't have much against it apart from feeling a little weird about it right now.

    Been one for the past few years now. I think everyone upon birth should automatically be an organ doner, it would be up to the person then to cancel it if he or she wished.

    I'm not an organ donor. I would like to be, but I'm selfish in the fact that if you're an organ donor they stop trying to heal you at a certain point so that your organs will still be viable for a donation.

    I'm an Organ Donor. I'm dead, I don't need my appendix anymore.

    Haha, I like this post.

    No, I'm not a donor. I wouldn't mind other people getting my organs, I've just never really thought about becoming one before. I'll look into it!

    I've gone back and forth on the organ donor issue, mostly for reasons outlined in Flying Mullet's post.

    I could be an organ donor. Over here, the doctors aren't even allowed to know if I am or not until I'm dead.

    It's so easy to become one! The lady at the BMV will ask, "would you like to be an organ donor?" and you say, "yes!"

    I'm not, but for no particular reason. I probably should be.

    I guess when I become a legal age to do so I'll become an organ downer.

    Oh, Yar-Yars, how selfless!

    I would be an organ donor, but I have a terrible heart and mediocre lungs at best.

    My organs kinda suck. =(

    Really? Where do you live? That's horrible..

    I'm not an organ donor out of sheer laziness up to this point, but depending on Flying Mullet's response to this post I may decide to be one.

    I'm a registered organ donor, and I used to have the little pink sticker on my license that says that I am. But my friend's Mom who is a nurse told me to take it off because of exactly what Mullet is talking about.

    So I'm hedging my bets by remaining in the database, but not having a visible symbol of my donor status on my license. I think if you're in the database it's supposed to be confidential.

    On the flip side of things, I've heard that sometimes cops are more lenient in giving tickets if your license has the donor sticker on it.

    I'm not an organ donor. =/ I feel like Rantzien said. No real concrete reason why I'm not one, just...eh. I don't know.
