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.

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

Yes, but I've since been diagnosed with leukemia.... Hopefully that doesn't mean my spare parts are trash but I suspect that's the case.

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.

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, because I won't need my organs when I'm dead.

Yes. And I volunteer plasma every 2 weeks. Up to 25 donations in a weeks time.

Organ donation is the last honorable / good thing you can do for the world after you've left. You'll be forgotten soon after dying, so might as well make it worth something

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.

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.

Yeah, I'm registered, just in case the agency in charge manages to not fuck up that day.

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.

Well, I can’t take them with me…

Yes. Mostly because I have generally been healthy and used to ride a motorcycle.

Yeah dude, if I have anything they can use. It's not like I'll be using them anymore, and I have a couple of friends who've gotten donor organs, so I've seen firsthand how it impacts people. I tried to be a kidney donor for another friend but it turns out I don't have enough extra function that they thought I could give one away. I'm fine, my kidneys are just not going above and beyond, I guess.

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