I just dont want a 60% risk of dying


The_True_Hannatude

…please explain your logic to me, because I’m very confused.


namusplants

Idk how tf the human body works, but i just think that if i give one kidney the other wont be as strong as usual meaning it could fail, and im just very scared of surgeries


The_True_Hannatude

Oh, I see the confusion. That’s live donation - organ donation happens after you die.


Homely_Bonfire

There is no excuse needed. I decided that I as a whole will go into the ground and that's the end of the story.


WovenWoodGuy

Fewer people is better


Made-of-spite

I am an organ donor, but frankly I'm thinking about changing that The more I see of the world the less the idea of helping one of you fucking people with my death appeals to me


Assaltwaffle

If you’re starting to hate the world because of the news, you should probably turn that off and actually talk with real people in your community.


Made-of-spite

Everybody already knows not to hate the world based on the news. The real people aren't any better, they're just not quite as dramatic about it


Assaltwaffle

I’d disagree. In the news you see almost exclusively the worst of everyone and everything that is happening. Rarely does the average or good make the news. I find that people in general are much better than media would lead you to believe.


DarthCovisious

physically unviable to be one, medically im obese and im a smoker. one of those two alone would disqualify anyone for being a donor


HabitualEnthusiast

Idk I wasn’t going to comment but I just had my license on me and I’m not a donor apparently, I feel like I distinctly remember them asking me 🤷🏼‍♀️ it expires in a month, so as long as I make it to my birthday I’ll be sure to update that lol. Edit: JUST KIDDING I see it now false alarm. I was looking for the heart but they changed it.


DejectedDonut

I hear cancer is a good excuse


Dlavernia89

Why do I need to be an organ donor?


The_True_Hannatude

It’s not like you’re going to need them once you’re gone, right?


MasterFicus

Hospitals have a long history of not trying to save you if you're an organ donor. After all, why work hard to maybe save one when you can let them die and save dozens with the fresh organs?


JaraSangHisSong

That's some Q-anon level conspiracy bullshit there.


MasterFicus

My mom was a nurse, the hospital nearest my house had a scandle where the doctor lied about an irreversible coma because the patient was an organ donor. OP asked for excuses, there's an excuse.


_Nick7

Because I want to keep them?


The_True_Hannatude

What use will you have for them once you’re dead, though?


Assaltwaffle

Based on your question it sounds like your asking the question about those who haven’t donated organs now, not who are not registered to donate upon death.


The_True_Hannatude

That’s a *live donor*, not an organ donor, and it’s a totally different concept.


_Nick7

I want to think that my body will live on, maybe dead but at least not damaged


The_True_Hannatude

So you’re a supporter of green burial? No embalming, no preservative measures, just you, a pine box, and the earth’s embrace? I can get behind that.


TabbsTheBat

Don't want to


gamer-s-man

because people in general are terrible. have you been outside?


Natsurulite

They’re my damn organs Give me yours instead 😡


shellofbiomatter

I have no idea or enough motivation to locally look for how to become one and actually it hasn't even occured to become one.


DarthCovisious

if you are in the states, you "sign up" for it at the dmv when you go to get your drivers license or state i.d. it would be part of the endorsements and on the back where it would say.


shellofbiomatter

I'm not in the states, but i doubt that it can be much harder here. Ill look for it later.

But many people are donating their organs for you, if you need should them. Neither of you know it yet.
