Hell no. I don't want my organs to better someone else's life when my own life is so shitty.

Some of you people have messed up perspectives. Someone who donates their organs is being gracious and generous--but that doesn't make someone who doesn't an asshole or a piece of shit.
That's like saying anyone that doesn't donate any money beyond what they require to live is a piece of shit. They could be using what they have to improve the lives of others, but don't because they're selfish.

No because money you dont donate you can still use to buy things you enjoy. But when you die your organs are of no benefit to you, your family or your friends. They'd literally be wasted if you're not an organ donor.

This would be like if you would rather throw something ito the trash than recycle it assuming the two bins are right next to each other.

Fact is, organ donations saves lives and not in a wishy washy ambiguous way. People dying of very real diseases can live much longer through organ donation. You refusing to donate makes you an asshole.

Okay, FOAD :)

Say what you want as long as you agree you're a selfish asshole

1) Your best reason is that you can still get enjoyment out of your money? Someone who doesn't donate their organs obviously enjoyed having them, and enjoyed making the choice more than the alternative.

Also, as shown above, maybe they were worried of winding up like this poor SOB:

2) But people are dying of very real diseases that they could be completely healed of if they only had your money as well. I think that, by your own logic, that makes you an asshole. 0.0

I don't think things are always so black and white as to who is and who is not an asshole, why paint a 1 dimensional portrait of the world?

Hell no. It's bullshit that hospitals make so much profit off of transplants when they receive the donor organ for practically free.

I am not going to let the vampire filled red cross get any of my blood let alone my organs.


We need to take the freaks out before they overrun us. I wear a silver cross 24/7 just in case so they cant get my organs when I am dead.
