Donate or not

I am a donor! They may "take" anything they want, no limit. To me it would be an honour if parts of my body can save another human!

I agree. I don't have it on my license that I am a doner (though I wish I did). Justin and my parents know that I want anything donated that can be used.
My grandma died of cancer, it was a very rapidly growing cancer that basically consumed her body. She wanted to donate anything that she could, sadly the only thing that could be donated was her eyes. She died at age 58, but she had perfect eyesite and was happy to have her eyes given to someone who needed them.

I'm a donor also. It's on my driver's license

Absolutely!! I've been a donor for years on my driver's license. I'm also going to look into donating my body to the UConn Medical School. Whatever I can do to help someone once I'm gone is okay in my book!

It's noted that I am a donor on my license as well. They can take anything from me so long as it isn't visible from the outside - which means that my entire body cannot and willnot be donated to science. Just whatever organ may match someone in need.

I'm going to be cremated, so it doesn't matter what I look like. Besides, once I reach the "human bridge" I'll be whole and healthy again anyway.

Yes, I'm a donor too and I think it is the most selfless thing we can do for each other. In BC it's different. We don't carry around a card...but we must register through the BC Transplant Society. In the event of my death, my family members will make sure my wishes are carried out.
