Based on your driver's license or equivalent ID, are you an organ donor?

[tmthforu94]

Yes. I wasn't for the longest time, but watched a movie about organ donation a couple years ago that converted me.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Other. I don’t have my license, but if I get one, definitely not.

[Cokeland Saxton]

Don't have my license, but I will say no. My liver is already a little f***ed up by alcohol use during high school.

[Goldwater]

Yeah. It's not like I will need them anymore.

[here2view]

Yes, and I always have been. I won't have any use for my organs after I'm gone, might as well let someone else use them.

Seems like a lot of effort to sign up for something that's not going to happen.

Perhaps I'm overly paranoid, but the idea of people messing with my body after I've died worries me.

Do you believe in resurrection in the flesh???

Yes, but my concerns about organ donation aren't religious.

Yes, and I always have been. I won't have any use for my organs after I'm gone, might as well let someone else use them.

Yes, and I always have been. I won't have any use for my organs after I'm gone, might as well let someone else use them.

No.

First and foremost, I'll have no interest in what happens to my body when I die, but my loved ones will. Therefore I consider it impertinent to make the decision for them. But even were that not the case there are other reasons to not be in favor of enabling the organ donation industry.

Second, organ donation is for the most part but a band-aid that helps to give a few extra years of life to those near the end of life and does so at great expense.  I realize there are exceptions such as pediatric transplants, but I'm well past the age to be a donor for those.

Third, cultured organs such as for corneas and skin look to provide the same benefits in a more reliable way and with less or no chance of rejection. Advances in biomedical technology are happening fast enough that I think it reasonable to believe that cultured body parts will be available for all anatomical systems except the central nervous system within a few decades. Organ donation reduces the incentive to develop cultured organs.

Last, I'm philosophically opposed to a system where hospitals, doctors, etc. make money off of a procedure but the donors who make it possible are legally barred from doing so.
