Dude, that song was like, on constant rotation on my stereo for like 5 years. That's my jam.


Anywho, yes, yes, a thousand times yes I'm an organ donor. You see, I'm also a recipient. I've received three kidney transplants in the last 15 years, and several blood transfusions. I'm currently on dialysis again, but every single one of you that marked yes is truly and seriously my hero, and I'm in no way joking. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Those talking about having diseases and whatnot, you can still donate, just not to everyone. For instance, Zapper, you could donate organs to someone who already had hepatitis, as the logic now is what could you do, give them MORE hepatitis? Also, if you know someone that needs a transplant and you're not a match, you can still be a donor, contact their coordinator. Now major hospitals do "donation chains" where it works like this: Say Jim needs a kidney, but his friend Tom isn't a match. Tom however is a match for Laura, and her friend Kathy is a match for Jim. Well if Tom donates to Laura, Kathy will donate to Jim, and everyone wins. Also, say Jim doesn't have a match in the system and is on the waiting list, well if Tom donates to someone that is, Jim will get bumped up to the top of the list for his sacrifice.

Bottom line though, I know pretty much everything about the kidney portion at least of the transplant game at this point, AMA.

I don't think it's opt-out in any state because every time they try to do it religious people throw a shitfit.

No, i don't want doctors to be all "eh this car accident really hosed this guy up, oh what's that a donor card? Free organs and i get to go home early, score!"

i really want to be but I've just been hosed over by people too many times to not be paranoid about this

I am still an organ donor because I think it is the right thing to do, but my mom worked for NM Donor Services for 5 years and took her donor off because of the mismanagement she was privy to as an admin. I'd hope that's just because NM is a thoroughly incompetent state.

see what I mean

The first one was a live donation from my father and lasted 8 years, which was pretty good for transplants in 99. The second, well I ran out of insurance money because or nation's health care is completely and inextricably broken. The third well, turns out my body is kinda poisonous. I now have been diagnosed with a condition in that the lining of my blood vessels rejected the perfect match transplant. It's so very rare that in my top five in the nation health care network, there's only one other person with this condition. There's no cure presently, so I'm just stuck with awful health and a noose around my neck, going to dialysis three times a week for four hours at a time.

however regarding whoever actually gets my organs should the inevitable occur...

can u donate a pennis for real though? imagine a johnson being tossed around with a service life of close to 100 years (with the occasional overhaul of course) just like a KC-135 Stratotanker of course minus the wings, engines, and full of sperm instead of jet fuel.

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.
When the obamanation takes over this is what'll happen to all those naïve organ donors:

Sleep, watch TV (there's one at each chair most places these days) I browse the net w/ my phone or play on a DS or whatever. You don't get much arm mobility but that's really the only drawback. That, and the huge needles in your arm recirculating your blood, of course.
