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).
Well, I can’t take them with me…
By default in our country. You have to unregister if you don’t want it.
No. There are too many people on this planet.
Yes I am.
When I die, my organs are no longer of any use to me, but could improve someone else’s life. I’m not sentimental about my corpse. I’ll donate anything that’s still useful. I don’t even mind if medical students use my bones to play pranks on each other. Heck, I think I’d prefer that.
I’m volunteer to donate because of I accidentally die, rather that it deserve someone who would have more luck than me rather than no one.
Now in Belgium it works a bit differently. Everyone is, by default, considered as a donor.
You can then register to either refuse it or to impose it whatever your family says.
This is because the law is that the doctors must always ask the family if they are ok to give organs from diseased family member even with the “by default donor”, with the registration you can say “don’t ask my family and just do it”.
This can be used in two situation in my opinion, the first one being family that have different conviction and may refuse despite the opinion of the diseased. The second situation (mine) being not wanting to worry grieving family with one more difficult decision to take.
No, both to receive and give organs. I’m just not comfortable with the idea.
Look to be honest I don’t agree with your stance but I respect the fact that you both don’t wish to donate and more importantly receive. I fell some people would be quite happy to take but not give.
The real test is how they feel when they actually need the organs.
Not meaning to call anyone out, but it’s easy to say no to organs when you’re life isn’t on the line.
In Austria you have to register to NOT be an organ donor. So we have about 99% donors (after brain death). I am a donor too, as I neither care about my body once I am dead nor bother to register for anything.
I am, but I probably shouldn’t be. My organs are…not in the best shape.
Good news, we have a match for you!
Somewhat good news, your new lungs are little dinged up and have mileage on them.
Bad news, we’re still charging you full price for these lungs. Enjoy your medical debt.
I am not. HOWEVER, it is simply because my spouse will be the one to make the decision. Not that I don’t trust doctors, but it’s a decision my spouse and I talked about.
Your spouse or next of kin is always the one making that decision. Doctors don’t transplant organs unless the family is on board with the decision, regardless of what you put on your license.
I’m set to donate my body to science. Maybe I even get to be a skeleton in a class room or sum 💀
no, I will when I’m 18 tho
like others have said, I’m dead, idgaf
My spouse and I are registered to donate our bodies to a medical college. If we can advance medicine in even a small way, it is still a move to better life and health.
Best we can do is weird grift where no one bothers even remembering your names.
Yes. I’d like to donate my body to science too, but I want to see if there’s a way to do it non-profit. I’m not interested in helping make someone rich.
Lots of medical schools have programs.
Yes, I don’t see why not. What else am I gonna do with my organs when I’m dead?
