Just make sure that you never get a bounty on your head. If a respective bounty hunter knows about you being a donor, they could be incentivized by a local hospital to bring you in (brain) dead.
Donating to a medical training university requires an intact body, so that's one reason to not be an organ donor (unless you count that in an overall "donor" umbrella?)
feeling?
Okay. whatever you want of course. I could never get myself to just smoke occasionally.
Was way too addicted.
That drives me nuts as well... you don't hear it much anymore... but that "argument" rears it's head in weird places.
I won't pretend to understand the intricacies of how an organ goes to the donor, and the process... but the belief that it's some organized system and that doctors and EMTs are out there waiting to snatch organs from otherwise save-able people is flat out insane. Anyone that says it should be called out for their insanity.
All my family and friends have my orders to firesale my body when I go... if I have the chance to donate every piece of me, take it... eyes, heart, kidneys... all of it!
Signed up for it as soon as I was able to, as well as being a bone marrow donor. And I give blood every opportunity I can, too.
I'm considering doing it, because the concept of being recycled and scrapped like an old phone or computer scratches my sci fi itch
My liver is pretty worthless tho

Heh
I donated mine a few years ago. Probably dont have the healthiest innards on account of my years of heavy partying but hey if they can save a life then have at er.
Hopefully they stick my brain in someone then I get to live again.
I haven't but it doesn't surprise me. I have a friend whose dad works in the medical field, and their dad thinks there's an organ conspiracy. He's a nurse, like what?!
A person at my work has said they don't want to be one because they are scared that hospitals will let them die if they are ever in their care so they can harvest their organs for someone else.
Yeah, don't ask me.
Seems a lot of Europe has an opt-out system, but most of the rates are still worse or just barely better compared to the US's rates.I already am. It's opt-out in Spain. It's really ingrained into us too, culturally speaking. I don't know how it happened, but it is.
US rates are really good considering it's opt-in.
So nearly the same amount of people go through the extra effort to manually opt-out of it. Strange, I wouldn't have expected that.
I wonder if the US changed to opt-in if the US would get Spain like numbers or if the numbers would stay nearly the same like those other European countries.
