Organ donation is really pretty creepy IMO. Imagine being like a hot 22 year old and getting my heart. Wouldn't there be some sort of wiring issue there?
I would consider it if I knew I was dying. Maybe if I could do interviews or auditions or something.
But then once I got a suitable candidate, I'm just going to sign away my eyeballs or whatever? I mean, this is my body. My temple. Not a fugkin' soup kitchen. I'm gonna need some form of payment.
Lots to consider IMO.

It is a personal thing for sure.
Like the peak of a market, they don't ring a bell just in time. Death can come like a thief in the night.
Do as you see best.

I'm a donor. I've had two friends that received hearts and one that received lungs. It added years to their lives. It wasn't easy for them, but it was good.
If I can help out someone that needs some used parts after I'm through with them, I'm all for it. I hope that it helps them live long and happy lives.

Yep, I won't have a need for any of it anymore. I hope somebody can get some use out of it. I looked into donating it all to science but the better half thought that was a little much. After having to pay for a parent's funeral, I'd be ok being bagged up and taken to the dump.

Do you get to sign over certain things? Or is just a yes or no type situation?
They just take everything, or can you narrow it down to just a kidney or something real specific?

No.
The risk of saving somebody I don't like is too great.
I hadnt thought of this until seeing it print, and after seeing it I'm revoking my organs/eyes going anywhere. Fuggem' A-holes unite! You never know,... something of yours could wind up inside of a needy desperate late middle aged insurance/annuity salesman's body allowing him more good years of hustling gun deals, riding hot rod motor cycles, and singing in Gospel groups.

Yes on organs. Why not? Blood, i've not given so much of that, but I do try to donate that as often as I can regardless.

Yes. I received the liver of 32-year old angle I never met. I'm alive 4+ extr years now still being a dad to my kids, husband to my wife, and son to my Mom.
God bless all those who give. There's a happy recipient right here, very glad you're still with us Gun Geezer.

Aqualung That's pretty much my take as well.

Dave I see where this is going. Yes, you can specify "liver only".

Yes, I am. I have seen the great things that organ donation can do, hopefully I can help someone to live a fuller life after I am gone.

I am, I've been signed up for many years. My father in- law was the recipient of a new heart on October 20, 2010 from an angel from Ohio. There's no telling how many others were saved by that same person's generosity.
Another thing to consider is donating your body to science. In my father in-law's case the place that receives his body will pay all the funeral & burial expenses.

The thread on funerals has me thinking about organ donors.
Are you on as a donor? Or, why not? Yep. Wife and son's as well. Wife and my plans are also detailed in our trust.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
