I can't donate blood, but would if I could (I was stationed in Germany 82-84. It disqualifies me)..

I am an organ donor, and it says so on my drivers license. I figure, if Im dead, what do I need my kidneys, heart, liver, etc. for?

Also, Dane Sanzenbacher has something to say about it (figure its pretty cool):

With my recent situation it has me wondering, how many people are actually organ donors. If you aren't why aren't you? Is it due to religious reasons, medical reasons, or is it that you simply have not thought about it?

I believe I'm not registered anymore. I used to be listed as an organ donor, just as I used to donate blood every two or three months...but now my blood isn't acceptable because I've had lymphoma and chemos. Being in remission doesn't change this. I miss it...I was a fast bleeder and it was fun watching some of the guys (fellow donors) fainting. I was the smartass watching for blanching faces, then calling out, "Timmmberrr!"

When my father died from pancreatic cancer, they wouldn't accept anything for organ donation except for his eyes. Two people can see now because of this...two people who were allowed to look us up after a year and maybe say hello. Both chose not to. My sister and I waited like kids before Christmas, wondering who got his eyes. Male or female, adults or children. We don't know.

It would have been nice to know.

When my cancer had come back for the third time, my sister in Texas tested and was registered as a bone marrow donor. It's been years now and she has never been called to donate.

If my (disabled) only son ever died, would I want part of him to live on in others? Yes.

I remember reading the story of a recipient who was so grateful, it overwhelmed her. She felt whatever she would say would be inadequate. As time went on, she was embarrassed that so much time had passed without saying thank you. Maybe your father's recipients feel that way.

HELL NO!

I do not want my organs to be harvested - in the event I am in a wreck and are borderline.

I would tho agree to donate my body to science AFTER I am done with it.

Do organ donors get inferior attention when in a fatal car wreck? Who knows...

I do. Surprisingly, you're talking out of your arse, as usual.

Thank god they don't do brain transplants. I'd pity the poor sod who got your 50cc effort.

Wouldn't a piano be a better donation?

Organs are so yesterday.

I was wondering who would make that joke...

I'm a donor but unlike some of you live donors of the cranial persuasion.
