I'm registered to donate, they won't take them unless I get an expensive genetic test. My brother just passed away, and they wouldn't let him donate anything because we had an aunt a couple of generations ago who had Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (a prion disease that causes dementia)

Not american, so that link doesn't apply to me. Here everyone is a potential donor, and the family decides. My immediate family knows full well that my organs are FFA when I don't need them anymore.

the best thing i could ever do at the last moment of my life is help someone else get a second chance

I think I'm ineligible. I think my sibling tried to register but was they were told they were ineligible because we lived in Europe in the 80's

Yeah but I wasn't for a long time. There was a spiderman cartoon where mary jane was targeted for murder because her name was in a database of organ donors and the villain needed her organs for his wife or something. scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and I had a knee jerk reaction when filling out the form I never really thought about. someone had to directly ask me before I realized I had based this decision on a cartoon I saw when I was 5.

Yes I am.

When I die, my organs are no longer of any use to me, but could improve someone else's life. I'm not sentimental about my corpse. I'll donate anything that's still useful. I don't even mind if medical students use my bones to play pranks on each other. Heck, I think I'd prefer that.

I am and I hope to have everything unsalvageable cremated

I’m not. I’m aware of how selfish it is but something in my system of belief that I have (undefined? spiritual? no idea?) says that when I’m dead, I should be ALL dead.

Like, if there’s any kind of afterlife, will leaving a functioning part me behind hold up the transition? This even sounds fucked up to me because I’m 100% not religious at all.

I would just prefer all of me to be dead or all of me to be alive. Not fractions of both at the same time.

Yes because hopefully someone better than me will get them and make a real difference in the world.

Yes. I'd like to donate my body to science too, but I want to see if there's a way to do it non-profit. I'm not interested in helping make someone rich.

Yep. Although I'm pretty sure no one would want them.

Yes, though my lifestyle may mean some are no good.

I am. Because why not?

Only because there's no box on the license application that says "donate body to be chummed and thrown on rich people".

But for real if my vacated body can save someone else's life or make it better by all means get that shit.

Not sure if I'm completely registered, but any time I've been asked I check Yes, and I have it checked on my health card.

Like you said: "why not?" Not like I'll be using them any more at that point.

I'm volunteer to donate because of I accidentally die, rather that it deserve someone who would have more luck than me rather than no one.

Now in Belgium it works a bit differently. Everyone is, by default, considered as a donor.

You can then register to either refuse it or to impose it whatever your family says.

This is because the law is that the doctors must always ask the family if they are ok to give organs from diseased family member even with the "by default donor", with the registration you can say "don't ask my family and just do it".

This can be used in two situation in my opinion, the first one being family that have different conviction and may refuse despite the opinion of the diseased. The second situation (mine) being not wanting to worry grieving family with one more difficult decision to take.

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