What do you think about organ donation?; Another nosey question

I'm a BIG advocate for organ and tissue donation. I'm donating my brain to autism research "If they can find anything there" , my organs for transplant, and any other organs and tissues needed will be used for research. Anything remaining will be cremated. It's not like I'll need any of them after I'm gone :P

As for living donation, I'm also on the bone marrow registry. Just trying to do what I can to help.

Would you be an organ donor? :angel:

I am an organ donor. It's on my license. Honestly with all these poor people waiting on hearts and kidney's, organ donation is something I have no problem doing if something were to happen to me.

I think religion sometimes takes things too far. Witholding something that can save someone's life when it can't save your own, crosses that line. But its the choice of every person, religion should not influence their choice. it should be what they truly want.

After I die I will obviously have no more use for my organs. Someone who needs them might as well have them. ^_^

But that's total speculation from you, right? I won't accept that as an answer :P

Blood is unclean? I never heard that for Hinduism either, and my best friend from High School is Hindu :unsure: How would someone live with themselves if they had a thing against blood? :o :lol: (just kidding of course ^_^)

My body rebels when I try to give blood (it randomly decides that I really need to puke and pass out, and then won't let me walk properly for half an hour), so I can't do that now. :/
