I am... When I had my daughter I even donated the placenta for the cord blood. Sorry if that was gross. But it could save a child somewhere...

I sure am. I think it is great I know when my uncle past away at a young age he was an organ donor and his organs saved 6 lives. He was the main reason I became an organ donor.

Yes, I am. If you can't use them, why not let someone else have a second chance. My son recently got his drivers license and he is an organ donor now too.

I am.
People should also be sure to tell their families that they want to donate their organs, because if it says "Organ Donor" on your drivers' license it's not enough. Your family still has the final say on the matter, so make them aware of your wishes.

WHEN I GOT MY LISCENSE, I WANTED TO BE AN ORGAN DONOR AND I WAS GONNA PUT THE STICKER ON MY LISCENSE BUT MY DAD TOLD ME NOT TO BECAUSE...
IF YOU SOMEHOW GET INTO A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT AND THEY SEE YOU HAVE AN ORGAN DONOR STICKER ON YOUR LISCENSE, THEY WON'T TRY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM A PRE-MED STUDENT AND KNOW ALL ABOUT THE IMPORATNCE OF ORGAN DONING BUT IF MY LIFE WAS ON THE LINE, I WOULD WANT THE DOCTORS TO TRY AND MAKE MY ORGANS WORK FOR ME BEFORE GIVING THEM AWAY. I PLAN TO HAVE MY ORGANS DONATED WHEN I PASS BUT I ALSO PLAN TO LIVE A LONG LIFE.
P.S MY PROFESSOR ALSO SAID THE STORY ABOUT THE DONOR STICKER MY DAD GAVE ME WAS TRUE.

I would happily donate my organs. When I'm done, I'm done. While I am still alive, though, I may be a little more stingy about the matter. For example, I really like my Wurlitzer.

Yes, I am. If you needed a transplant, wouldn't you want others to be on it in case they matched you?

I am. I have pledged my eyes and my heart...
And the rest of my body is going to the research table...
