I am not an organ donor, but my family knows if something happens they have the right to do whatever is needed even though I haven't given prior authorization.

I wasn't until recently when I got my license renewed.  I am 33 and after a heart attack at 28 I realize that any day could be my last.  So I stopped putting it off and went ahead and did it.

No I'm not.  I don't that I have any organs that someone else could use.  I have bad eyes, a fatty liver and probably have some kind of heart trouble.

I am!  If I can help a few people when I'm gone, then so be it.

I want to be a organ donor but I have autoimmune disease (lupus) and was told I cannot give organs or blood.

Hmmm...I didn't know that.  I'm an organ donor with lupus.

I'm sorry you can't donate. I hadn't heard that either.

Yes I am and have been  for years.  My father was the recipient of a heart from someone which extended his life so we could enjoy him for 11 more years. 

I feel it is my duty to repay the favor that someone did for our family.

Hi,
A close friend passed while waiting for a  new  kidney.  He was at the top of the waiting list.  Yes,  I am an organ donor.

I switched to be an organ donor the last time I renewed my driver's license. Though theoretically it will be a while before that ever is utilized.
