Heck yeah! If I die suddenly but the parts of my body can be used to save other people like children or someone's parent then by all means take my organs, take my face and skin, bone and muscle too! I don't plan on being buried anyway because that shit expensive and bad for the environment. Some people like my mother opt out because they just think of it as weird but when you see/ hear of peoples stories of having to wait on lists for organs while they slowly die it just makes it seem so much more selfish to NOT donate the organs you're already not using. Trust me, when you're 55 and diagnosed with lung cancer and need a lung transplant your gonna wish more people would donate their organs.
Every Belgian citizen is donator by default unless he had declared otherwise.
I have apprehensions, some organs have a really short shelf life so they will cut into you as soon as you are legally dead. That notion does not sit well with me as I wager the possibility they were wrong or miraculously I revived. If it were something I could grow back then I wouldn't mind, but generally I want to be dead for at least 24 hours, some of these organs have a shelf life less than a day so they start cutting as soon as they can. If they took a portion of my liver or some skin that would be alright, but major organs no thanks.
In the UK we now have an opt out scheme. As in everyone over 18 donates unless you opt out or in a excluded group

So it’s quite simple here

When I first got my driver's license I put down yes I wanted to as time went by I started to learn that if the family of the person that died donates the organs they have to pay for transplant and I said no way I would never do that then I would not want to put a bill on my kids for $250,000 or something for giving somebody a piece of of me to keep them alive
No, because even if I tried my organs would be rejected. - lol
I stopped donating blood 20 years because prescription medications that I began to take made me unsuitable as a donor.
To illustrate the depth of the problem, one day a huntsman spider bit me while I was in the shower. A few minutes later I found the spider dead on the floor.
Yup, no issue for me here. If I'm dead, I'm not using it, if someone else can make use of it, why deny them?
I understand there are religious preferences here, as a Christian I believe I am going to be getting a "new body" later on. That gives me even fewer reasons to hoard body parts :P
Of course i will. I have several old Casio, a Yamaha and a Korg Keyboard they can have too.
I don't trust doctors, who may have a financial incentive to sell your organs. One must only look at the medical profession today. They are not In the business of making people better, they are in the business of treating sick people and prescribing drugs.
Of course, I've already signed a thing saying that's fine. I don't need them i would be dead and not know anyway. Better than maggots just eating them if someone can use them even if it's just for research or something.
No, because they are my organs and someone else will benefit from them so that's a no, ain't nothing free in this world, either I get paid for them or nobody will get them.
Abso fucking lutely.
Being a transplant recipient I wouldn't have a new cornea if my donor hadn't made that choice.
So upon my death I'm doing the same. Whatever they can use they can take. I don't need it any more
Yes, because I plan to get embalmed and preserved, and removing all organs is mandatory to the process, plus I'll be really glad that they'll help someone who'll need them for their life!
Yes bc it will help someone else. I'm not gonna need them anymore... people don't for religious reasons? What religious reasons are there?
No for non-religious reasons. I wouldn't want them to go to a person who I wouldn't like if I met them in life. Since there is no control over that I won't donate them at all
They can have the whole damn body, it's not like I'll be using it anyway.
s If I don't die from a disease and if my organs are healthy, I don't see any reason to not donate them when I die. I can save someone's life.
probably a good idea but don't over think it and get creeped-out
No, I am worried if I ended up in ER/ICU they'd let me die due to how valuable my organs would be.
Well, I don't need my organs after I die, and honestly I wouldn't care after I die either (Since I would be dead🤷🏻♀️). You get my point.
Not only am I willing to donate my organs, but my pianos too.
My organs and for research since they're useless for transplant as I am diabetic. Have been for 46 years. Hopefully, they can use me to find a cure for this.
No, just like cremating, I dislike it because I want a Christian burial.
Why not? I don't need them anymore and donating my organs could save many people's lives!
