Are you going to donate your organs upon your death? I am. I have a member of my family alive today who received a vital organ. I am even going to donate my cornea's. Some people are really freaked out by this, just wondering about the rest of you.

Funny you should ask this.
I have been thinking about this issue today for some reason. I was freaked about the whole thing for a long time but thought if my kid needed an organ I would do anything to make sure she got one.
So, that being that - yes, I do plan to donate my organs and signed the back of my drivers license for it today.

It's an uncomfortable subject for lots of people .It's great to be a donor .maybe it's the Frankenstein thing that bugs people .Or better yet the actual thought of death ..
When you are dead you're dead.it's hard to ask a living being about giving a part of their body ,a part they use every day , to another individual after they dead....You know there is even a difficult process that live doners go through to donate to living people who need the organ ..I suppose then , that the subject is relative to the situation at hand .Yes, I would give to a live person ,my family for instance ,but I would still struggle with donating to another live person .so ....I appreciate your maturity in this subject .as for me ,it will take mitigating circumstances.....

i carry a donor card with me giving the hospital permission to use any vital organs and on my drivers license it says i am an organ donor why should they go to waste when someone can use them its good for them and it makes you feel good knowing you helped out someone else

I am, but only the internal organs because I don't think my family would be able to deal with running into somebody with my face.

That's great about your relative! I am an organ donor also. I won't be using them when I die. If there is more mileage left on them then I hope someone uses them.
