Are you an organ donor?

 

[Ryan]

Yes, although I don't know who would want my organs, but they are more than welcome to them when I'm dead.

 

[Bassyhead]

not at the moment but i think i will become one. i have no reason not to be one.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Yes, if im dead, i dont care

 

[Nitemare]

I'm not done with them yet...maybe later

 

[Lola]

[CaptnKirk]

Longest surving Brain donor.

 

[toekramp]

[brtspears2]

No. I'm fairly sure no one wants my alcohol infested liver or kidneys and my heart diseased heart.

No, I'm donating my body to a university medical center. They won't take it if the organs are gone.

 

[Kelemvor]

I was thikning about posting this same poll the other day but forgot. But Yes I am. SHoul dbe mandatory for everyone to be unless they actually decline on their Drivers License.

If I knew my organs would not be going in a lab or giving a felon a second chance at life then I would...

 

[RossMAN]

Yes, as I would have no use for the organs.

No. At least not officially. Your family can donate your organs, even if you're not on an official list.

I don't want to be on some list so if some senator needs an organ, they come run me down so they can have mine. Several years ago a senator got moved to the top of the list when he needed some transplant, and I made the decision then to not be a registered donor. My parents know they can donate my organs and when I get married, my wife will know too.

I don't like the idea of it (even if I am dead). The whole concept of a piece of my body--who I am with my DNA--that living on in someone else bothers me.

I would like to think that someone I know or love (not myslef) could receive an organ if it was important to their survival but I don't think I'd like to be a donor myself (I want to be shot into a black hole when I die thanks )

 

[jjones]

Yes, it will be donated to the fishes.

 

[NissanGurl]

Yep, they can grab what they can when I'm dead. Then I'm thinking about doing the creamation and then they whole compressing the carbon into a diamond that someone can wear. Creepy, maybe to some but it sounds pretty cool to me.

You know I never thought about it in that detail, the DNA aspect. That would be kind of freaky like if they harvest your heart. Your organ/blood/DNA in someone else's body.

 

[AdamSnow]

Yep.

 

[nakedfrog]

No. I don't know if I can explain it, but it just feels wrong for me. :thumbsup: for all of you that are.

 

[eplebnista]

Are you an organ donor?

No

 

[Jzero]

I am, although I have trouble escaping the suspicion that if push comes to shove, I may be allowed to die because I'm worth more in pieces than I am whole....

Yeah. Just the thought of "you" still existing in someone else is messed up IMO. I explained it to a friend and he thought it was great... "immortality" he said. Not quite

If you look at it from a practical standpoint you are just the brain. The body just supports the brain and its continuous requirements. But I still can't get over the idea that my body--part of who I am in the physical sense is now part of them. It weirds me out (not squirmishly).

I could see if you were religious and were a donor--you don't believe in the meatspace to begin with.
