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).
Yes. I can't think of a better use for them than saving a life (or hopefully lives) at the time when not only they're not going to be useful to me, but there will actually be no me to even be able to make use of them.
And I live a healthy life, so hopefully some of them might be useful whether I die of old age or any other cause (except falling into a meat grinder of course, then all this gym going and veg eating will be in vein).
Also, fingers crossed they'll find a dope body who's my HLA match and will need a brain transplant π€
Not in the US but yes.
Yeah, but they arenβt going to like my liver.
Not yet. As soon as some people in my country get to know I am registered, I am dead meat - worth my weight in gold. Itβs dangerous.
No. Ineligible.
No. I used to do that. I stopped doing that after I registered for be the match and had gangs subsequently stalk and harass me. I had people threatening to shoot me over the past several years, which may or may not be tied to registering, but many of their threats were motivated by my blood type. Iβm the universal blood type donor. Iβve had several people, throughout my life, make comments about having me killed for my organs since Iβm everybodyβs type. I know it was just people being cruel, but I really feel more at ease by not being a listed organ donor.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
No.
I think so? I should check though.
Friends and family know to strip me down for parts as aggressively as possible.
Due to my own medical reasons, I'm not.
Yes. I check the organ donor box when I renew my driver's license. If I'm in an accident then I don't need 'em anymore. Let someone else use 'em.
No. Religious reasons
I am curious, what are your religious beliefs on this? And would you be willing to accept a donated organ to save your life?
I am not sure why you are getting downvoted for answering the question. Yes, lemmy tends to have fewer religious people, but it's upsetting that others are quick to downvote anyone expressing their religious beliefs. Personally I am agnostic, however I respect that everyone has the right to their beliefs.
No. This world made me selfish.
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?
No. There are too many people on this planet.
