Organ Donation - Yes or No?

[Kimmy]

I was speaking about this with my band earlier in college (because we clearly do so much work). There's always been mixed opinions on this topic, and although I'm unsure of my own, what do you think about Organ Donation?

Will you donate when you die? If so, why?
If not, why not?

What do you think about other's reasons of not doing it? Do you think it's selfish?

[scottish]

No I plan on staying intact and being buried that way.

I don't think it's selfish because the organs belong to you and you can do what you want with them and shouldn't be held accountable for the lives of others, especially if you don't know whether they're going to someone who has only knackered their own organs through bad habits!

I have a donor card. I like the idea of my eyes being in someone else's head and being able to live vicariously through them. Could be fun. Read a story about a baby's parents giving up it's kidneys and some other cells which I thought was nice but to impose such a decision on other parents of dead children is imo not very nice

I'm an organ donor it cost me about 5 seconds clicking a box when I renewed my car tax so yeah if any of my organs still work when I go feel free to have one

I can never understand why people are so possessive over them. You're dead, you have no use for them. I'm all for them, can't say mine would be any use at all though.

Your body is the only thing that is ever truly, completely, undeniable and irrevocably yours. You're the only person that gets ownership over your body (that's why it's such a big deal when people assault your person, sexually or physically, because it's against your wish).

Your organs included. They're yours, and you don't owe them to anyone else, as Kyle pointed out above. If memory serves me right, some people refuse donation due to religious concerns, believing that they have to be 'whole' to enter into a divine afterlife or whatnot.

I'm a organ donor. I feel if I'm not using them then someone else can. I've read up about it and they treat you with respect and decency so I'm happy.

I think if you would be willing to accept someone else's organs, should you ever need them then you should be willing to give yours should that time come. I'm not currently an organ donor although I would like to become one, one thing I would stipulate is that I wouldn't want my eyes being removed as I find that cringey. They can have anything else.

im not an organ donor, id like to stay intact when i die. also i feel like it would be weird/take a toll on my family knowing ive been cut open and other people have my organs and idk its for their sake aswell

[lemons]
