I'm registered as a donor, if my organs aren't needed for transplants they can use them for science or education.

Organ do or, donate blood, and on the marrow registry. You never know when you may need the gift of life, I only hope others are as generous as I try to be should I ever need something.

OK, we do this every month or so. Here I go again:
-I'm a perfectly healthy, very fit guy. Self employed. I have been priced out of the health insurance market. They just kept raising the premiums until, for any kind of real coverage, they want $900/month. So I'm out. -Why? Because any FSA or Mexican illegal can walk into my local hospital and get whatever care they want, free. The hospital I pay property taxes for. And can't use. Somebody has to pay for that. The medical establishment elected me. -Hospitals make out like bandits on transplant procedures -Transplant surgeons are millionaires (good for them) -If I need a transplant, I won't get it. Because I'm not FSA or an illegal, and I don't have the cash. The Medical-Industrial complex has shut me out, because I can't pay to play, and I'm not a member of a privileged group. They don't get my body parts as raw materials for their profitable business. |

I'm not an organ donor. I'm not saving some FSA or other dipshit when I'm gone. They can suffer for all I care. If you could become an organ donor after death for family members or designated people only I would think about it.
Average dipshit off the street, fuck em. I don't care if I get buried without my organs and I don't believe doctors will only save those who aren't organ donors or whatever else. I just don't feel like saving a huge portion of the population by chance. |

Great so not only do we have to give up everything in life now someone else has the right to our organs unless we opt out. Good luck with that. The FSA just applied to someone elses body. Nice going.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
You want my organs? Pay my estate. Otherwise, all parties involved in the extraction of the organs, and the transplant, must agree to provide their services, and facilities free of charge. I can mostly agree with this. I don't think it is right that big profits made off of the generosity of a donor. If that's how it is going to be then the donor's estate should be compensated. With that said, I believe I am a donor. I just checked my TXDL but it doesn't say anything about being a donor. I could've sworn I was one though. |

I'm not currently set up for it. Nothing on my DL or anything. Not because I'm against it. I just haven't bothered to look into it. But I will probably look into it soon, and become a donor.
My Mom was an eye donor, and from what I heard, her eyes were able to help 3 different people. (No, she didn't have 3 eyes.  I'm really not sure how that works, to be honest.)
If you want to be a donor, be one. If not, don't. |
