Be a Donor

I don't understand why everyone isn't an organ donor.
Seriously.
Why not be a donor?
When you're dead, you don't need your organs anymore. They are obviously no use to you. Why not give them to someone who needs them? Why not save a life?
I say, take everything ya can from me, cremate the rest, than spread my ashes somewhere beautiful in nature.
I do not see any negativity in being an organ donor, so if anyone's got some great insight from the other view of the spectrum, please share. I'm curious what keeps people from donating their organs once they've died.


I wish I could donate blood too.
But nope, can't do that.
I don't weigh enough.
Quit laughing.
It's true.
Apparently you have to weigh 110 pounds.
Last I checked, I was up to 103.
I'm getting there.
I've been trying to gain weight for FOREVER. It just doesn't work. It's frustrating.
Course, I say that now, but in ten years when I've had kids and my metabolism is shot then I'll be laughing at myself for ever wishing I could gain weight.
Anywho, some day I'll be big enough to donate blood.
In the mean time, I'll just have to stick with the donor written on my diver's license.

But seriously, if you're not an organ donor, you should be.
You could save dozens of lives even after you're dead.
Consider it.

  1. I'm an organ donor, it feels great to have part of me live on after I've passed!
