I just got my driver's permit the other day, and I became a total organ donor. So I was just curious, who else decided to become organ donors? Why did you or didn't you decide to become one? What were your reasons?

As for me, I just figured if I happen to die, and my organs are still in tact, someone out there obviously needs them a lot more than I do. I dunno, I just think it's selfish to say no, I want my organs even in death. I mean, what good does that do? But that's just my opinion.

Discuss!

Planning to be one, but I have to find out how you become one. So...

How do you become an organ donor?

They asked me if I wanted to become one after I got my permit. I signed some papers and now it's one my card and stuff. (:

That sounds kinda creepy ....when i got my permit a year ago, I wasn't ask that. I guess it depends on where you from. lol i hope nothing happens to you on your beginning years of driving.

Lol, I never knew getting a permit and donating organs were so connected @_@;

^you can sign the back. however, despite that, some hospitals may not honor it alone (in case of lawsuits). It's best that if you decide to let your family know so that they can honor your wishes.

Yes it is important that family members know your wishes and don't try to block it if god forbid something happened and organ donation became an issue.

I am an organ donor as is every one in my family. We have a personal interest in this because one of the members of my family is an organ recipient. Unfortunately a few years ago a young man we did not know personally, passed away in an accident. His kidneys, heart, liver and corneas were donated. One of those organs was donated to my family member.
Think of it, in the midst of that loss there is at least some comfort for the family in knowing that their loved one potentially saved 4 lives and helped someone else to see.

They didn't ask me when I went and got my permit. =/ Well, I'll tell them when I go get my Drivers Lincese. I really want to be an Organ Donor. (:

[nymph]

I have the organ donor sticker on my ID too.

Maybe others who aren't donors believe their body goes on to the afterlife or somethin and want to keep their heart/kidneys who knows hehe

[STR8UPGSTATUS]

I'm thinking about it.

[psquare6806]

it would be extremely skeptical about donating something like my heart, or brain.

but lungs and kidneys i'm cool with.

im an organ donor

i dont really need them when im dead i think lol

[Sanura]

I'm one. My family said it was a bad idea. They think that if I get into an accident, the hospital won't try as hard to save me because I'm a healthy person, and that means my organs are healthy. "Healthy organs for people who need organ transplants? Hmm..."

I don't believe my family is right, but even if they are, I don't care. If I die, at least someone else will live.

I'm a organ donor. It was my choice. I mean, if I'm dead, it's going to turn into dust. Mind as well let someone live with it.

My best friend has an organ donor label on his ID card. It's funny because he said no when they asked if he wanted to be a donor. But they put it on anyway.

[morgan.de.toi]

when i got my liscence, they actually never asked me if i wanted to be an organ donor or not,
although, i'd love to be one.
if i can save many other lives after i die,
that might just be the best thing i've done all my life

[~*BaybeE*~]

i am proud to say that i am. My parents were totally against it and thought i was crazy, but hey u mind as well help another person even after u die. Its not like u need it anyway. we all have to help each other out~

[w00tah]

My dad and I are donors. My dad didnt even question why or say anything when I chose to become a donor when he was with me at the DOL.

[Juli~<3]

my sister wanted to be one but my mum threatened her saying if she didnt change it, she'd disown her.

hmm.

[__In Lust`]

when i got my license.. the guy asked me if i wanted to be one. i said YES.. but on my drivers.. it doesn't say it.. i was a little bit irritated because of that.. haha dont know why

[missxsuong]

i wish i was
but can't
