Don’t trust in the ethics of the unethical. I would suggest carrying a wallet card, or even a medic alert necklace or wristband if you are really determined, which says “Organs Are NOT Suitable For Transplant”.

Ironically, there are a lot of people who are disqualified because of some disease or other, that should definitely carry such an ID, but seldom do.

Doesn’t China presume consent from their political prisoners, then sell their organs?

Good plan. I recommend Woodford Reserve. It's never let me down.

BTW we've got the same thing here in IL. I used to be a voluntary donor but since they made the change I revoked my consent. I'm also working very hard on wrecking every transplantable organ system in my body.

I'll wreck my liver and kidneys with alcohol, my lungs with fragrant cigar smoke, and wear my eyes out oggling hot chicks. My heart I intend to fill with plaque from rich, delicious, fatty foods.

I'll show the bastards.....

You are obviously a lady of extremely refined taste and inestimable class and style. I'd like to take this opportunity volunteer my services as a drinking partner should you ever find yourself short-handed in that department.

When I started reading this thread, I was going to write a post similar to yours....

I'm a little younger, but I intend to fill the coffin with a corpse that looks like I was rode hard and put away wet.

I used to live in Oregon. When I got my drivers license it had my "consent" to be an organ donor on the back despite my not having told them to put it on there.

There may not have been any law, but they presumed you were one unless you requested specifically not to be one.

I scratched it off.
