Yes, because I'd want others to be if I needed it.

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.

Yes, though my lifestyle may mean some are no good.

Due to my own medical reasons, I'm not.

Yep. I'll be dead anyway, so I have no use for them anymore. If it can save someone's life then imo it'd be a bit selfish not to. I was already registered when it was still opt-in, but now it's become opt-out here in the Netherlands so even better. It'll make sure that a lot of people who don't care either way will now save life's that we otherwise wouldn't.

Nice try fed, won't get my organs that easily

I am. Because why not?

Yes. My state makes it really easy, just check a box when renewing your ID or driver's license. I can only hope if I lost my life I could give a new lease on life to someone else.

By default in our country. You have to unregister if you don't want it.

I am, but I probably shouldn't be. My organs are...not in the best shape.

Only because there's no box on the license application that says "donate body to be chummed and thrown on rich people".

But for real if my vacated body can save someone else's life or make it better by all means get that shit.

No.

1. It's opt-in in my country.
2. I fear that medical personnel will give up on me way too easily and early if they know that I am a donor. Or that it's even rooted in malicious intent.

Yes however, I'm torn between either donating my organs or donating my body to science.

My thinking is I could maybe help save a couple of lives if my organs are in a decent enough state, although with my life style they probably wont be, or maybe my body could be used as a cadaver to train new doctors possibly saving a lot more lives.

Even if its not used for training doctors my thinking is that even a small amount learnt from the use of my body has got to help somewhere.

Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground

In all seriousness I'd rather they cut me up and pass me all around.

no, I will when I'm 18 tho

like others have said, I'm dead, idgaf

No.

The topic came up among a table of paramedics and other first responders I was drinking with one night. Went down to the dmv and had the mark taken off my id the Monday after.

Yes. In fact, I just registered for this a few weeks ago.

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).

My ID says I am, but I'm not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That's literally all there was to it.

Real talk though, I almost don't think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they're going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?

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.

Back on topic. I believe this is opt-out in my country (if it didn't change recently), so unless you specifically state that you want all your organs inside to feed the worms or to get more ash for your urn, you're automatically possible donor.

EDIT: Just checked, it's still opt-out. It's opt-in only for minors and incapacitated - their parents/legal representative have to agree.

No. This world made me selfish.

I think so? I should check though.

Friends and family know to strip me down for parts as aggressively as possible.
