Yup, but it's not on my license, my family has directions on what to do were I too have any good usable parts left, those in need are certainly most welcome to them.
A Buddy already wants my damn eyes, I told him you can have em when I'm done with em!

I'm a 21-gallon blood donor, was on the bone marrow list (I'm now past the acceptable age) and have DONOR on my driver's license. So, yeah.

Wabigoon: Yes I am and have been for 30+ years now - luckily I am still above ground to enjoy my eyes and organs to the fullest.
I have to wonder if it is not selfish for anyone NOT to donate their organs should their life end?
I mean what good would you those kidneys do you in your grave?
When they could save the lives of two folks who desperately need them!
yeah "I" am an organ donor and proud of it.

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'

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.

Donar. Don't care who get the parts. I just don't hate anybody enough to deny them these worn out parts.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

While being an organ donor sounds very noble and can be great for the recipient it can also be a terrible burden on the family of the donor. My cousin was terminally injured in a car accident, the doctors keep him 'alive' until a recipient was ready. That was several days of hell, the hope that he may come out of the induced coma and survive was torture on the family. Something to consider.

Yes, but there was no category "Not to Democrat". Guess I'll have to chance it. Joke will be on them- I'm not planning on leaving anything good.

Already dead, not "alive".. Let go, already.

Yes - I've kept mine so far, but a good friend passed two weeks ago unexpectedly.
Per his wishes, at least two people were helped regain their sight by his donation.

Have not seen it myself, but have heard stories about "Not even enough left over for hhe family to bury". If the left overs are headed for the incinerator anyway, it probably makes little difference. Some families place great store in viewings and open casket funerals.

It's a noble thing. Your family will not be impressed with how you/they are treated. The donor/family are treated like a car in the scrap yard. Hopefully others have had better experiences.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
