I got what she needsYeah, they an pull me through the shredder but stripping me is fine as well. Not using it.

What kind of person would I be if I refused to give away something that is useless to me but could save another persons life? Especially such a pretty life![]()

I am an organ donor.
Anyone who isn't shouldnt be eligible for recieving organs. Also, they should install an "opt out" system, so there is automatically presumed consent.
*This applies to places with Universal Health Care.

Currently not, but I plan to be, for certain parts.
Lungs/liver/kidney etc will certainly go, as they will be in perfect health. My eyes, no, heart, most likely not. Anything else should be fine.
I do agree with this however:
they should install an "opt out" system, so there is automatically presumed consent.
Abandon all hope.
There was an opt out system being considered here about a year ago, I wonder what ever happened with that. Currently there is a question on the licence form here asking if you want to be a donor. I didn't even have to think about it, I ticked the full donor box straight away. I think an opt out system would be far better though. I'm not sure I've taken the best care of my "parts" but if any are still in good working order when I croak then sure, take whatever still works.

What if any of you for some reason needed bone marrow and I had died in a car accident in Belgium and there was no record of me not wanting to donor organs?
A few months later you are treated for cancer.

Actually, they not the biggest concern. it is those with HIV, etc.
Then again, in my statement, it was under the presumption that the reader would obviously know there are exceptions to the rule and I wouldn't break those.
Obviously as Andres said above:
And the organs/body will be examined before the transplantation takes place.

I think I'm a "partial" donor or something and probably need to check up my donor status, as I'd willingly give up anything that works. Although my liver, kidneys, lungs probably could be ah... treated with more respect.
Same as pever on the eyes and the heart. They work but, genetically speaking, probably better ones out there.

They can have 'em. I'll be dead.
I also donate blood at the moment as often as I can. I think I've done so 11 times now.

EDIT: Blood donation is right out the window though. I am absolutely terrified of needles. Needles and water, those are my two fears in life. I try to stay the hell away from both as much as possible. I blame childhood trauma...

I donate blood, but by the time I'm done with my organs no one will want them.

I haven't donated blood either, though I would like to.

I don't know what they have here in the UK, but I guess it would be a good idea for me to sign up. There's not really any reason not to is there?

I was a heavy smoker.... so my lungs are somewhat "dirty" and un-donorable
Afterall, I will only donor my organs to close realted family and friends... not to a stranger

But if you die there is only a small window of time in which your organs can be used, there isn't much of chance that any of your family members will need a transplant at the exact time you die.
