[sub]search bar approved. all i could find was something about what you want to happen to your corpse when you die.[/sub]
A few weeks ago, while walking around Glasgow, I was wandering through the train station when I nearly tripped over a small woman carrying a clipboard. She thrust it up towards my face, saying "Would you like to become an organ donor?!". That's exactly what I did. I filled out her little form and bam, within 30 seconds I had signed my organs away to be fired into someone else should I die. That's a very blunt way of putting it but it's essentially true. Because of my age, she told me to make sure that my immediate family were aware of this fact. When I told my mum and step-dad, there was a contrast in opinions on the subject.
The questions I pose to you are:
Are you an organ donor?
If so, why? If not, why not?
If you want to be an organ donor, why aren't you one already?
No, i am not an organ donor, and do not intend to be one.
Reason you say? I'll make it simple....I care more about my organs than the lives of most humans on this planet (and i'm 15 and technically 15 and thus illegal to do so).
The reason people give their organs is either for
1. They hate their organs
2. They do it for money
3. For a loved one
4. They are delusional about something
That is the only reason i came up with so.......yeah.
Also....WHY did you sign the Form??
But what use are your organs to you if you're rotting in the ground?
Why not give them to someone that needs them?
Well it seriously depends on the circumstances does it not?
If i died in a glorious gun battle against aliens then....i don't think they'll want it.
If it was for a loved one then yeah why not!
Also i was talking about if i was still alive. and i intend to either die of old age and/or in a glorious gun battle against or with Gordon Freeman. Thus making that line of conversation moot.
Congratulations, you're an A+ Certified Dipshit.
They won't take your organs until you're dead, man, you have to actually schedule yourself in to have 'em taken out while you're still kicking.
Anyway... yes, I'm a donor. The problem with New Zealand is this - when a person dies, of anything, it's treated as a homicide until proven otherwise. That means by the time a corpse is ready for harvestin', the organs are no good.
Generally your shit only gets cut out if you're on life support and the plug is pulled in the presence of the motherfucking Police and Chief of Staff. Even then it's not up to you - it's up to the grieving family.
Result: the waiting list for hearts, livers and lungs is thousands of years long.
