Organ Donors

I am. I’ve been an organ donor since as long as I can remember. My late BIL was a recipient of a liver many years ago. He lived another 7 years, but it made a great difference. A close friend of mine got a kidney from a coworker. I cannot see a more honorable thing to do to help someone if I pass.

Yes. Registered when I got my driver’s license.

I voted no because I have a medical condition that would not allow me to be a donor.

I think I am...not sure. But I had cancer (after originally signing up years before), does that cancel me out?

Not necessarily. Depends on the cancer and it’s affect on your organs.

Me too.

That commercial is hilarious.

I think I went to college with Coleman Sweeney.

Funny, and yes have been since the 80’s when I got my driver license. First few years I was on look out for roaming teams of hmo organ harvesters, but that never materialized.

I don't think anyone would want my liver.

But I have donated my golf swing to any 25 handicapper who wants to improve a bit.

I fully support organ donation... it is a wondrous thing.

Oh my gosh, I remember when people feared passing out at parties and waking up in bathtub full of ice with a note saying something about "We've harvested your kidney, call 911." Or some crazy s#it like that. I knew know people that used to believe that was a thing.

Yes, for many years.

last summer my 51 year old cousin died from an aneurysm and my understanding is her organs helped many. I do not recall now but think they said over 30 people were helped.

Note: She passed in a similar manner to Sweeney but she was not an asshole.

Yea I was in my 20’s and waking up in hotels from Kenya to Tokyo, I certainly heard those tales, and for the traveling years it was in the back of my head. Somehow life worked out.
