Yeah, on my license it says that it's open harvest on all my organs once I die. There's absolutely no reason not to. I should go give blood soon, too.

Not trying to sound like a total insensitive jackass our nothing, but my organs are my organs and I'd like to keep it that way. I just have this fear that they'll cut me up and take out my organs, but I might not be dead yet, and I'd wake up and have no stomach or something. My grandmother said she felt the same way.

When I die (if I die that is), I want my organs with me. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Sorry. That's just the way it is.

On the back of my medical card there's a space which I have to sign if I want to donate my organs. At the moment, it's not signed. I could take a pen and sign it right now, but I'll wait until I'm older.

I don't really mind, once I'm dead I won't really care about my organs, so people can have them if they want.

Being the son of 2 nurses, and having heard some heartwarming stories about organ and tissue donation, I fully intend to donate my organs for transplants and medical research.
I say, if it can help some one else, why not?

Once i'm old enough, I will set it up so my organs are donated after my death. I see no reason not to, although I have to make sure it is not against my religon..I know that there are certian things that you cannot do to be buried in a Jewish cemetary, and I want to be careful..

Yup, I have thought about it. I will when I do die. I don't have any use for them. Once I get a license and all that, it's going straight on there.

When I went for my learners licence I said I didn't want to donate my organs, but I will surely change my mind later, What use would they be to me if im dead?

I'm already trying to find out where to sign up. Not like I'll be using my body when I'm dead, may as well put it to some use instead of just sticking it in the ground and wasting valuable land.

Sounds like you've already changed your mind. As for me, I don't want to have doctors chop me up to get at the organs inside when I may have survived ___ elsewise. People have been killed for organs when they were almost certain to survive in the past, you know.

Hah, they had a good Law and Order episode on that topic a while back. A doctor had killed a dying patient before she was dead in order to harvest her organs, because he wanted to be able to get the organs to a transplantee before someone else did so he could get a promotion. And they found him guilty of manslaughter or murder. Tough case.

It... to early.

Death is something that I would not even think about, and well... I probably wouldn't sign up now. But I probably would do when I get older.

Anyone seen "Meaning of life?", that movie comes into mind. It was a cruel but somehow funny... and it related to donating organs.

Probably not...I'm not comfortable with the ideas of my organs in other people's body...as selfish as that sounds. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

If you aren't dead, and the doctors take out your organs, then trust me, you wont be waking up.

What the? How does one who is dead feel an emotion of discomfort?

I like the idea of donating my organs after I die. It's not like I'm gonna be using them.
