Yes, I am and have been since I got my first state-issued ID at the age of 17 years old. For me, it is important for me to help as many people as I can. I'll be dead, I don't need them anymore, but a lot of other people can be saved by my family's loss.

I am and have been registered for some time now. I’m hoping they can take anything that’s viable. I can’t donate blood or bone marrow though.

Yes, but I am afraid to pass out in the hospital because they might sell me heart to some rich guy and put a pig's heart inside me.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Skull_Anon]

Yes, I've agreed to donate my body after I pass away

[exitseven]

[Static_In_The_Attic]

An Organ Donor I am & when I kick the 🪣 hopefully my junk can help someone else out.

No, nothing good left in me

Drinking, smoking and a heart condition has sullied my organs

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Nope

[Daniela1982]

I do have it noted on my driver's license.

[Apple1996]

Yes I am 😊

[Agape93]

Used to be

[msc545]

what changed and why?

[Agape93]

I no longer want to help. If my loved ones need a kidney, they're welcome to remove it if they want. But I'm not wanting my organs going to keep some shit head alive or be groped by some 2nd year medical student.

[msc545]

Why do you care - you would be dead.

[Agape93]

Principle of the matter. If I won't help you in life, I won't help you in death.

[msc545]

Wow. You are seriously angry.

[Agape93]

Nope, just apathetic.

[msc545]

I think you mean depressed. The flip side of depression is anger. I'm not wrong about this at all.

[Agape93]

Apathy is simply not caring. So if I don't know you, I don't care about you. If I wouldn't help you in life, I have 0 interest in helping you in death.

I have depression. I know what that feels like, apathy feels different for me. Ones an illness, the other is a mindset.

[KrakenAttackin]

Absolutely.
