I'd have to think about it but I'm not one of those people who thinks it's a bad thing. I can't see the harm in doing so, anyways.

I'll likely end up saying yes if I don't end up donating something while still alive first. I might want that one kidney in the afterlife.

I'm not signed up as a donor, but... I probably will someday. No reason not to.

I don't know. Considering that you don't really need your body after you die, probably. yeah.

No thanks. I would hate getting my body all cut up before a burial .. or maybe a cremation. Now thats a waste of good kidney.

I think I am actually...pretty sure it's on my driver's license...not like I have a problem and not like there's many good parts in there anyways. They'd probably chuck me back in the grave after dissecting me to find I got nothin left.

But hey...if it keeps someone alive for a few more years or more...works for me...I'm not using it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is one thing that seems like an absolute good. I doubt many people would be against it.

I know it's incredibly selfish, but personally, I want my body frozen when I die, in hopes that I can be revived in the future...

If I had an extra kidney though, I wouldnt mind donating it (you can live with just one)... But I'm one of the people who was born with just one.. (and it's a bit smaller than it should be)

By the time I die, all of these "donated" parts are goint to either be made of metal, or cloned and grown in labs....

But no... Im my own individual, and dont want to be a part of someone else. I need to keep my wholeness.

I'm registered to on my license. I think somebody who is alive and needing a kidney or something would do much better with it than my rotting corpse.

I'm registered. The way I see it, after I'm dead I'm probablynot going to miss it that much. And I'm sure there will be someone out there who will get more use out of it than my dead ass.

I don't have a license yet and, as a result, am not officially registered, but I can't imagine not donating needed organs upon my death. Like Jarukoth pointed out, it seems an act of absolute good. I'd liken it to giving blood, something I plan to do as soon as I turn 18. My dad donates platelets with regularity, and my mom used to until her blood pressure forced her to stop.

It's so harmless to you yet so potentially miraculous for another, how can you say no?

I'm going to donate my smoke-infested lungs to a kid with four kidneys! Actually, I never thought about it, and I'm not about to just give up my organs... I mean... they're mine, get your own fucking organs you fucking twit.

I'd agree with Silvershield - yes, if you don't want to then that's fine and people have their reasons. But odds are you'll end up helping someone for the better...

I can't do blood though. No way. Needles. Ugh.

I wouldn't...the idea creeps me out. But, I might change my mind when I'm older.
