Yes, in the case of an untimely death i could really help people.
I remember a guy went around to all the different country subs and asked what they thought about an opt-out organ donor policy instead of an opt-in donor. The results were interesting (which you can probably guess).
Yeah, but they aren’t going to like my liver.
Not yet. As soon as some people in my country get to know I am registered, I am dead meat - worth my weight in gold. It’s dangerous.
I think so? I should check though.
Friends and family know to strip me down for parts as aggressively as possible.
Yes. I check the organ donor box when I renew my driver's license. If I'm in an accident then I don't need 'em anymore. Let someone else use 'em.
Due to my own medical reasons, I'm not.
No. Ineligible.
No. I used to do that. I stopped doing that after I registered for be the match and had gangs subsequently stalk and harass me. I had people threatening to shoot me over the past several years, which may or may not be tied to registering, but many of their threats were motivated by my blood type. I’m the universal blood type donor. I’ve had several people, throughout my life, make comments about having me killed for my organs since I’m everybody’s type. I know it was just people being cruel, but I really feel more at ease by not being a listed organ donor.
No.
My ID says I am, but I'm not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That's literally all there was to it.
Real talk though, I almost don't think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they're going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?
No. This world made me selfish.
No. There are too many people on this planet.
