I'm not registered but probably due to misconceptions. Maybe you guys can help provide some clarity

No but I should be. It sucks that the donor has to die for the organ to be transported

Not always, if it's a non essential organ. Some people have donated part of a liver or lung . I've heard of coma victims having essential organs removed but maybe that's just more hype than reality. I could kinda see it happening though.

Yea

Yep, I am. If I'm dead, the last thing I'll have to worry about is my organs, but someone else may be in desperate need of them. I figure, why not? It'd sort of be like one last gift of kindness to someone in need.

Yeah, I can see it now. Someone gets your organ and they suddenly have a compulsion to grill and be perfect :P

I'm not. I never really thought about it, and with all the advances in growing artificial organs, we may not even have to donate organs anymore in the near future.

Yeah, I am, for the same reasons Sparky outlined :)

You can still donate certain organs while still alive like kidneys. You technically only need one to survive. But I'm not a donor because of reasons I won't get into here.

But Im curious to know why not because I'm not and I don't see that as a bad thing. Maybe we can private chat?

I'm not but I'm probably a bit young to be worrying about it

I am, registered on my drivers’ license. I figure it’s the cash money thing to do with my organs which won’t be any use to me when I’m gone.

I also donate blood on a pretty regular basis. I’m a sucker for the free t-shirts and swag.

And I realize this is out of style, but also: the feeling of doing right by others and making a difference!

I was at one time thought to be a carrier for chagas desease which is common in central America where i was born. So I wasn't allowed to donate blood for a long dinner because of risk of infecting others. Thankfully at testing I qas confirmed not to have it. So sometimes there's medical reasons for not being able to donate. I agree, being able to help others during or after death is a noble thing. :)

Long dinner? Seriously my smart phone can be so dumb sometimes. Long TIME, long time.

Yes, I am. After I die I won't need them anymore. I mean, yeah, I'd rather save someone I like than some random asshole who just happens to crash speeding when I die but I'd rather save an asshole than not save a good person. 🤷

You gotta point there

I... I have a... a way with words? 🙈🙈🙈

Just poking fun at your eloquent use of the word ***hole multiple times in one sentence ;)

Yeah, that's one of my proudest skills. Did you notice the clever use of the chiasmus there? 😉

Ah, I see it. So poetic :P

Always look out for yourself before you look our for others, so not on your life.
