Well, I just got my card in the mail, so the subject is on my mind. Who else here is a register donor? And to those who aren't, why do you hate humanity so?
Kidding. I would be curious as to your reasons, though.

Alright, let me amend the post: "Who else here is a register donor? Did you find it difficult to talk to your family about it? How did you broach the subject?"

I see. The dude who signed me up told my I needed to talk to my parents about this, as my corpse would be their property after I croak.

"how? aren't you an adult? i'd think it be property of your spouse and/or children."

I haven't gotten around to getting any of those, so yeah.

"Do you think your parents will approve, Yum?"

My mom probably isn't thrilled about this. She gave the letter telling me I got a letter she would rather I didn't see. Well, she knows about this now, and I doubt she would actively prevent my wishes from being fulfilled in the event of my demise, so I think I'd just avoid that particular morbid conversation.

"i thought being an organ donor gave them the right to chopshop you when you die.
its not like YOU need the organs."

Yeah, but some people fight costly legal battles over that sort of thing. It's a religious thing.

"Secondly, after they learn what I did at Vegas, they'll disown me anyway, so the whole "next of kin" thing will be resolved without even me trying."

Oh, stop being so dramatic, Xun. I mean, who hasn't killed a prostitute in Vegas? I'm sure even your parents managed to chop one up in between Tom Jones and Siegfried and Roy shows.

Sheesh!"

I was expecting murder, possibly robberies, but this..?

I wash my hands of you, Xun. May god have mercy on your soul.

even though organs are donated i think u should get some money or at least give your family some money......ya know how much u can get on the black market for a kidney!!🙂 u donate your organ for free and everyone else makes out...the doc gets paid, the hospital gets paid, someone gets some more life......donate=loser. (i am a donar too so im a loser too)lol
