Are You an Organ Donor?

InformationGeek · January 27, 2010, 04:53:28 PM

A recent topic on the board and a recent speaker at my school made me think about organ donning. I'm one and basically, people can have most of me except for my eyes, heart, skin, and my brain. I want to keep those parts and just in case my body reanimates as a zombie, I still look presentable and I can still be killed again (Aim for the brain!).

So, are any of you guys organ donors and if so, why?

I'm not. I'd feel guilty if someone ended up with my abused organs.

I actually have no idea! I've been to the damn hospital that many times (all my own fault), and filled out so many forms that I can't remember what they were for. I suppose I wouldn't be too bothered, my organs may benefit someone else, but they better not take my butt!

Yep. They can take anything of mine, I wont be needing it.

Yup. As John Prine sang:

"Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground,
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around."

Yes indeed: I don't know what kind of tune they'll get out of my organs, though.

I'm a universal blood donor too ~ 0+.

I am but not certain they can be used after the health issues I've had. It's not really up to me at that point since I won't care either way.

I've been one for years.
