I will not accept "donated" organs.
When God is done with me, here, He'll let me know. And I'm OK with that.
What if He wants you to have an organ donated from someone?
I will not sign up to be an organ “donor”.

I am presently listed on my DL as an organ donor, but I have come around to precisely your way of thinking, and will change that when it is renewed.
You are right! I will not sign the organ-donor thing, either. It is ghoulish and there are abuses. I bet the hospitals get money for organs, too.
Heart..Unstable angina
Lungs...COPD
Gastrointestinal tract....IBS
Skin....pustular psoriasis...
Brain...damn near useless...
Working on the liver with bourbon......
Hurry up and get old, they don't like old peoples organs...
you now, to be safe, need to put a specific NO DONOR on your license and/or with family and a 'Will to Live document - totally different from a 'living Will', the later of which can still be circumvented to get those organs.
If the taken of organs was not so lucrative, it wouldn't be be so prevalent. Follow the money.
Yes, I believe the new designation of 'brain dead' is not valid. They need to get the organs from a still living person - and so, the invention of 'brain dead." p>I suspicion that, if they are can harvest the person and make big bucks - they do not take any extra steps to save that person. I wouldn't care to be looked upon, not as a person to save, but for expensive spare parts.
And now, they have changed the driver's license criteria from a notification of "Organ Donor" to a PRESUMPTION of 'organ donor' in absense of a sticker, and can, in some cases, override the family.
"Brain dead" is NOT DEAD. Either work to save me or let me really die - do not look upon me as a factory to sell parts from.
For an AB you sound pretty humble.
I write on the back of my driver’s license, “Not an organ donor.”
I have a huge moral issue with a sick person actively hoping that someone who is alive and healthy right now will die so that they can get their organs. Because, essentially, anyone on an organ waiting list is doing just that.
You may want to have DNR tattooed on your chest too.
