    I am - It is the best gift you can give someone - and besides when they take it from my body, i'll be done using it. You can help a MINIMUM of 13 people if you are an organ donor - more if the skin, marrow and connective tissue go to more that one person.

    Yes, I'm an organ donor and I'm willing to donate all of my organs to people who need them. When I die, my body will no longer be part of who I am, so I would prefer that it be used to help other people live. Plus, I want to be cremated, so why incinerate the whole thing when someone else can use it. I've thought about donating my body to a medical school for use as a cadaver, but that creeps me out a bit.

    If you are an organ donor and something happens to you where you need to be revived the med squad will not try and save you because of the high demand of organs. This has been passed on to me by several nurses and doctors. Think twice before you have that cute little heart put on your drivers license, it could cost you your life.

    I already donated an organ. I didn't play it anymore, after buying a new keyboard lol

    actually they can have whatever they want ... I won't need em once I'm gone.

    Of course I am.

    My social concience would not allow otherwise.

    I have seen the sennsless carnage cause on roads, and the sheer waste of human life, when in fact that body can give so much lfe and quality of life to so many.

    I is MY choice to help as many as I can.

    I figure,if a highway patrolman pulls me for extreme speeds,they may see that I am a donor and say hey,that is a really good deed.I may let this cat go.A chance at least.

    I am. If I'm dead, they certainly aren't doing me any good. Why not let someone else take 'em for a spin?
