Is anyone registered as an organ donor?

Matt85 · 36-40, M
Yes. I've signed up to give everything away accept for my corneas when I applied for a drivers license. I would change it to include them if I could but I don't know how.

I've selected that option on my driver's license. Once I die, they will rush me in to an operating room and take EVERYTHING useable. That way, in death, I can continue to do good, and perhaps even save a life or two!!!

Yes, I am a card carrying donor, but in Australia you still need permission from the next of kin

Yes, of course, I won't be needing them.
Nope, I explicitly opted out.

No. I don't share my organs or my cheesecake

Yeah, I am. If anything's undamaged when I go, it's up for grabsies.

Not me but once dead they can still take
@Sutten My cardiologist told me in 1997 that the probability was over 90%, which is why I took myself off the list in late 1992, and I had him notate it during my visit when I told him, they cannot touch my organs.

@NativePortlander1970 Are there any other health issues besides cancer that prevents one being a donor, like chronic illness or do they just run all thoses tests when you die to determine which organs can be used?
@Sutten Autoimmune diseases are on the list as well, like lupus, MS, Parkinson's, etc., anything that is considered genetic.
I had to rescind my donor card after I found out just how bad cancer is on my Dad's side of the family, I also had to stop selling plasma as well, this was 32 years ago.
