If I have kidney failure and say I am willing to become an organ donor, is it too late to register on the lists?

And would any of my organs be usable, besides corneas perhaps?

Dangerous thinking.

Just because you say you will be a donor doesn't mean you will, at least in the USA. The doctors always consult with surviving family members, who may contradict the would-be donor wishes. What about that.

And a multitude of other snags.

I wrote on the back of my driver's license that I am not a donor. I also do not want to receive any organs.

If a donation can be made that does not require the death of the donor, that is fine. But when a donor must die to give, then people are actively hoping for a death.
