    Yes, I am - it is like a final gift, you certainly don't need them anymore, why wouldn't you help someone who does need them to live.

    I am. When I'm dead, I won't need any of my organs and if they can help someone else that's great.

    I don't believe that what makes us human or beloved or unique resides in our flesh. The part of us that matters leaves us when we die.

    So many people die because organs aren't available. I might not be able to prevent my own death, but maybe on the way out I could help someone else.

    Remember, you're not a donor if your family doesn't know!

    I have it on my license so that if I am in a car accident or something they can have whatever they want then.

    Reason #1: I won't be using them anymore.

    Reason #2: I can save or improve up to 50 lives.

    Reason #3: This one is stupid, but I heard that when they perform an autopsy they just shove them back in all topsy-turvy. The thought of my organs being all out of place just makes me cringe. (Silly I know, but hey, I'll be dead when it happens!)

    Yes, cuz its of no use to me where I'm going. My family won't need it cuz we have the O+ blood and can use just about everyones organs/tissue I think.

    I am too..... I cant understand anyone who would not donate their organs!! I would like to believe that part of me would live on...... and also..... if it were me..... or anyone close to me who needed an organ...... then I know that.... some kind and caring families have decided to do this in the event of their own tragedy!!

    Yes because I don't know why I would need my organs when I'm dead anyway. Also, if people didn't donate their organs, my grandpa would not be here today.
