What is your take on putting organ doner on your liscense?

My take on it is I think it's selfish not to.  I mean seriously your DEAD!  If one of my son's needed an organ and I wanted to be put in my grave with perfectly good ones that could save one of my son's?  I just can't fathom it. 

My brother's take on it is this "I came here in one piece, I am leaving in one piece" lol how about you?

 I used to be afraid  they would let me go just to have an organ to save another (I was 18 when I thought this)...now I am marked as an organ donor.

I am a donar and they can have everything hair bones eyes it does not matter. Anything to save another and I dont care if they use what cant be used to save someone to use to study or test on. I dont need my body I am gone. Heck I dont even need a head stone unless my family needs or wants it. Heck you dont even have to bury me if they take it all. Just do me one favor have a heck of a family gathering in my name that is all I ask

I'm a huge organ donor advocate. When I was working as a nurse I would hear "they won't save me if I'm an organ donor" all the time. I explained to them what really happens and I have changed a lot of peoples minds. I like to think that I indirectly helped save someones life.

I don't see it as selfish to not be a donor.  It's a person's right to choose, after all, it is their body.  Some people have religious reasons for not being a donor.  No one owes anyone an explanation as to why or why not.  I have it marked as a full organ donor and that's all that needs to be said.

I am an organ donor... with that being said, I understand that it goes against some religions to be an organ donor. To each their own. It isn't selfish.

I am a Private School sending, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Homework Helping, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Academic pushing Mother. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it raising my child - I will do that, Thank You. I believe that a woman's place is in the home taking care of her house, children and husband. I am submissive and proud, my husband is head of my home. I am a proud, traditional Roman Catholic, as is my husband... Yes we are teaching our children that The Church is the only Church.               Aimee

Didn't have a clue it had anything to do with religion

I'm the same way as your brother. For some reason I want to have all of my organs when I'm buried. Selfish I know, but like your brother said, I came into this world in one piece, I want to leave in one piece too.
