  3 0 I'd like to add, that maybe people don't have a reason that they don't donate. Since it's an optional question it's optional to answer it. No answer, no donation. Now maybe if the paperwork wasn't complete unless you made a choice there'd be less non-answers and prolly more donors. internet_jen answered in Whatever 9 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 There are people who are worried the more ambitious hospitals may be just a tiny bit more likely to let you die in a critical situation because you are a donor and they would like to have your expensive organs. The StainMaster answered in Whatever 9 months ago | Report 6 comments by freikja, The StainMaster, and freikja… 0 0 l get that. l've watched enough episodes of House to get it. But the only salvagable organs are few, so l figure fuck it. They won't be after me at 80 for all my rockin organs. l might have two left worth saving, but sure! l'll donate em. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 2 0 I've watched enough episodes of The Dukes of Hazard and T.J. Hooker to pretty much understand questionland, the stranger, and most of Seattle, why do you think they are all learning the Krav Maga? The StainMaster commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 HA! freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 I saw that movie "Coma" also. But didn't they bust up that ring years ago? O my captain commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Never seen it. The StainMaster commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 It was based on the book by Robin Cook, if l remember correctly, and was -you guessed it- about an organ harvesting ring that went about obtaining them in highly questionable and unethical ways. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 I had checked mine but then I got squeamish reading about some of the uses for donated tissues such as cosmetic sugeries and experiments which might be in questionable taste morally or otherwise. I have since learned, having lived in Britain during the Mad Cow Disease scare in the 90s, that I am not eligible to donate blood or breastmilk, and I believe this applies to organ donations as well. agness answered in Whatever 9 months ago | Report 1 comment by Blithering… 1 0 If you register directly through the Donate Life organization, you can specify what you are and are not willing to donate.

  3 2 1stly, not done using them yet. Second, the morbid tastelessness of attaching organ donation to driving licenses squix me out. Make it part of voter registration instead? Lastly, I have a "no soliciting' sign tattoo'd on my heart: There's, you know, some occasional trouble to be had (more often in medical dramas, but happens in real life too) if you're considered '99.9% hopeless' and the person in the ER bed next to yours is 'needing' your heart. Docs, nurses and the transplantee's next of kin might wreak havoc on MY next of kin's emotions and judgement and my living will's intentions. When you're comatose, you don't exactly get to sit up and say "Excuse me, I'd just as soon wait it out and see if maybe I can be that one in a million chance, so I'll be keeping the red squishy thing of mine, thank you very much." So, I have explicit directions that once DEAD my heirs can be approached by harvesters and ok'ed by my intentions. Not solicited before.

  1 0 I believe there are a couple reasons why someone wouldn't want to donate their organs. Primarily, it squicks a lot of people out. And then there are the religious reasons. Some believe that you can't enter the Kingdom of Heaven with an altered body. I am listed as an organ donor, but as a diabetic I don't think anybody is going to want my guts... Maybe some scientists will pickle my liver and dissect me as a teaching exercise. As long as whatever's left gets burnt to a crisp, I don't really care. sanguisuga answered in Whatever 9 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 An acquaintance mine once answered that he wasn't an organ donor because they made you keep a card in your wallet. He was dead serious, as far as I could tell. I guess it doesn't matter since he's obviously an android anyway.

  3 4 The vampire-zombies control the organ donor trade. Don't trust them! Basil answered in Whatever 9 months ago | Report 7 comments by freikja, RacerX, and freikja… 2 1 Vampires don't need your shit. They survive on simply being undead. Zombies only want your brains. Zombie army combatants could use the rest of you in case you die. What survival guide were YOU workin with? freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 1 0 Oh. I thought he meant vampire-zombie hybrids. aka Bella Swan. RacerX commented 9 months ago | Report 1 0 Oh, good lord, downvoter. Apparently you don't recognize a joke when you see one, and don't know Basil and l have met and are cool. Get over yourself. RacerX - you may be right. l never considered that. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 1 0 Yeah, what's up with the downvotes? Did people lose their sense of humor around here? Basil commented 9 months ago | Report 1 0 You mean they had one to begin with (certain company excluded)? l mean, hey, l've been gone for a few months now, two days l'm back, and l've already picked up haters again. l'm that good. Woot! Nice to be back, though. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Maybe people really don't like vampire-zombies. Basil commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Well, they may be sort of redundant; eating people they're already going to eat, and one is aware while the other is completely brain-dead -no pun intended- so l don't know. l'd assume it'd still be more a superhuman breed than one or the other. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
