I am not an organ donor. The only reason being that I feel comfortable with it.

Though if I'd be in danger I would really appreciate getting someone's donor organ..

Am I a bad person?

Please be objective, I'm just wondering

EDIT:
To elaborate, I would feel kind of desecrated if people started to cut in my body, however one of my life goals is to save someone from death..

I started this thread to get some opinions and to see if anyone could change my mind, Thanks for the reactions so far! :)

Also: Is it possible to put terms up when you sign for donor? For example if I'd just want to give a kidney?

(Semi-changed my mind so far :))

I'm an avid believer in "You get what you give"

If I need help, I wouldn't expect an organ to be given to me, as I have not signed an organ donor card, but if they wish and do give me an organ then I'd be fine with it, I just don't really expect it.

I suppose if ever someone's organ does save me I'll sign the card

Evil, no, of course not. There's many reasons, including religious ones, why people choose not to donate their organs.

However, I would ask you this: What are you really going to do with your organs when you're dead? If you're not using them, I say, give em to someone who can. Being an organ donor doesn't mean they're going to let you die or anything if you get into a bad accident just so they can steal your kidney or something.

We have hookers with bathtubs full of ice who do that. (jk... maybe)

You're not evil, but you are somewhat selfish. You'd be willing to take someone else's organ when you need it, but you don't want to give yours away after you die and have no further use for them? Aside from religious reasons, I can see no justification for that, given the organs will be useless to you when you die but could prove to be very useful for someone else...

You know what i think? I reckon that everyone in the country (UK here) should automatically be made an organ donor from birth, as a legal requirement. Then, they can opt-out later if they wish to do so, but only if they can provide proper reasonable justification to a judging panel that they shouldn't have their organs donated. Obviously anyone with medical conditions preventing them from donating shouldn't be put on the list at all, but that's seperate. That way, we drastically reduce the waiting lists for organs as there are plenty more people who are donors by default, and we can still make allowances for those with good reason not to donate. Then everyone wins!

Evil's a strong word. I don't agree with you, as I am an organ donor, but I don't think it makes you evil. What about giving your organs once you can't use them anymore makes you uncomfortable?

Good and evil are concepts brought about by the idea of morals and all mighty beings who will punish you.

There is nothing wrong with it. If someone is willing to give an organ, thats theyer desision. Doesnt matter who it goes too. Your a recipent of someone else kindness.

There's nothing evil about not being a donor. And if you feel bad about it, you still have time to become a donor. Think of it this way: You're not evil because you feel guilty. You're asking for advice and that's a good sign. If you were a bad person, you wouldn't be posting this question, would you?

Not evil but selfish, what use are your organs to you when your dead, as soon as got my permit I told them to make me an organ donor cause if I'm going to take an organ then I'm gonna give one, circle of life.

I would happily become a donor if I could choose who gets my organs. I would like to sign up for "If that, that oder that person needs one of my organs, give it to them. Other people? No!".

I don't know to be honest, I've asked myself that a few times, and each time I come up thinking it would feel like a certain desecration of my body. I'd like to leave the world the same way I entered it, and to be hoenst, I'd prefer to die of an organ failure than to have someone's organs used to keep me alive.

I'm one, as in will be one if I die a untimely death and my organs are still usable. Hell for all I care they can use my body after I'm dead to check the effects catapults.
